Push-fit fittings

? 'Sprain, preese.

Don't you westpondians have push-fit fittings yet then ? They've been around
for yonks over here. You just push both ends of the two tubes you're joining
into a push-fit fitting and it seals with an internal O ring and little gripper
claws that grip the copper tube. There's a special tool to unlock them if you
want to remake the joint. They're a bit more spensive but you can slap a
heating system together in minutes rather than hours and when the labour charge
is added in they work out cheaper.

Oh, I think I have seen on progs like This Old House. Yes,
the reason I disregarded them is that they cost 4x that of
nicer available fittings.


Probably an evolutionary thing. You'll get round to discovering them eventually
along with the metric system, fire, not eating and talking at the same time,
election systems that don't rely on your brother to fudge the results, not
feeling the need to invade every other country in the world...

I made a comment about the east pond countries being 3rd world.
Now I see the results of my joke: having to put up with 3rd-worlder
"humor". Blimey, I'm sorry for having said it after listening to
the Canuckistani (and now Brit) whining. Oi!

P.S: We've had fire over here for quite a while, some of us eat
quietly, and invasive brothering should be solved in November,
but only Wakan Tanka/God/Buddha/Allah knows what we'll end up
with to replace him...I only hope he's not another Imperialist.
You guys have had enough of those, too, wot?
