If Mr or Ms Hep can provide
a) independant data that shows pushfit to be as reliable as solder,
solvent and compression
and
b) a 50 year guarantee that covers damage to the house and will still
be genuinely claimable on in 50 years time

then I might well be convinced.

Has anyone seen a guarantee for Bosswhite and Hemp or CAF joints? I think
there is just as much chance if not more that EPDM seals will be around and
giving good service for longer than Hemp or other fibres



Organic rubber degrades after 30 years or so. Butyls are probably good
for longer.

Thats what the pipes and O-rings are made off.


YMMV
