Hi all

I'm in middle of my bathroom renovation and about to connect up the shower valve. Thus far I've run all copper but would you recommend I use soldered to 1/2 adapters in to the valve or compression fitting to 1/2?

Obviously I'd need to pre-solder the adapter before installing the 1/2 to the valve. I got these adapters from tool station (for trade range), there's a silver band around the centre, is this some kind of pre-flux? It wasn't mentioned in the description. Some appear to have a few gashes in the wall as well which is a bit disconcerting. Cheers.
