I hate it! Only use it if I have to! (Under floors when there's not enough room to tighten a compression fitting.

It has it's place, ideal for secondary returns or long runs.

just what i thought when i started using push ( would only use push fit when not on show), have seen airing cupboards done in push fit dont look to hot, not sure on compression fittings soft soldering where you can

Copper all day everyday ! Nearly all our site work was crimped copper etc and now they are starting to let you use end feed again ! Do use alot of hep for the temps etc on site and i gotta say the new stuff seems better than the old stuff ! I prefer the johnguest stop ends if its just to blank off first fix ! But you find that people will take the speedfit stop ends off the pipework so when you do come to pressure test you walk round to see your stop ends gone ! So i use hep stop enda now as you need the tool to remove them ! Saying that i sprayed 2 bags of speedfit stop ends one bag blue one bag red and everybody asks whats so special with them i tell them there a special pressure test fitting and funnily enough nobodys robbed them !

Why'd you say that?

Use it rarely, it has its uses but I am an old fasioned copper man myself, seen too many floods even when installed and pressure tested exactly as manufacturer asks for.
