What is an interesting question is what happens if the plumber just
replaced a load of metal pipe with plastic. That's a bit more of a
can of worms.

Or if they are silly enough to put PTFE tape on compression joints?


Interested to know Dennis, how PTFE tape on compression joint threads,
might compromise the integrity of earth bonding ??

Those who do use PTFE on compression fittings tend to wrap it round the
olive. Not much point in putting it round the thread as this doesn't
provide any seal.
