Push fit Vs end feed solder.......??

[steve6710]

thanks guys, all makes good sense to me
just to be sure then i could push fit plastic under floor and a short copper piece to rad on show

i suppose copper push fit on show is the cleanest and best astheticly

I'd go with the regs too, DC for me

Copper all day long... Push fit is handy in some situations but as previously said doesn't look good.

copper pushfit is fine to use although a bit pricey

Seems wrong to use push fit on an all copper, decent job in a house.
Solder fittings are usually easy to a pro, providing no trouble with water.
If you are using end feed, you will need to be good at soldering.

End feed for me, I do however use a bit of everything as and when I need to. If your not too up for soldering, use solder ring fittings. Most people add solder to them but its not really needed. As I have said before and most might agree, pushfit is genius but they can leak, I've had my share. O rings become hard with heat in time. But I do use them on heating systems that being said. It's a competitive market and although I aim for quality, pushfit below floor etc is quick. I use manifolds meaning there are few fittings to leak, if I can't have one pipe running all the way to a radiator then its copper
