Another thing to look at when buying pipe is that some brands have
marks at measured intervals that correspond to the push depth of the
fitting. Speedfit have these and possibly others. The idea is that
you cut on a line and then push in the pipe to the next line to ensure
proper insertion depth.

Hep has these as well, and very useful they are.

Another tip: Are you sure you put an insert in the end of that pipe
yesterday? Put a mark on the pipe with a marker pen as soon as you slip
the insert in. Then you can go back later and be re-assured when you see
the mark is there. Before I adopted that technique I had to undo a few
to double-check that I did fit the insert.
