Why not just use solder fittings?
I (like many) consider push-fit to be crap, especially on CH systems.
Soldering really isn't hard, and will remain mechanically strong and
leak-free for decades. Push-fit relies on rubber 'O' rings.


I have seen copper pipe fail after less than 20 years and fittings
that never worked, I have yet to see any plastic pipe/joints/fittings
fail even in heating systems.


So says the bloke who still see the fairies in the bottom of his garden.
