In locations where one may not want to

compression, but never push-fit.

Talking about 15mm copper piping
for hot water (rads) if that makes any
difference.


Push fit fittings work perfectly well
provided that you follow manufacturer
instructions. This means that tube
ends must be square and clean. If
you are using plastic pipe, use the
proper cutting tool. If you are using
copper, then a tubing cutter. On no
account use a hacksaw.


..Lord Hall informs us all with tripe
..hacksaws are used on copper pipe
..you place the saw on pipe in view
..and pull and push until it's through


Not reading instructions and using hacksaw
with effect that the water ****es onto the floor..

BTW. What's this new "poetry" stuff?
Do you see yourself as the next Andrew Motion?

I know that most of what you write could be described as "motion", but
this is a new departure.
