Subject says it all.
Needto connect chrome plated Cu pipe to speedfit. Speedfit say I must
removed the chrome for the connection. Presumeably as chrome is quite
hard,
and the stainless gripper things inside the speedfit connection can't
grip
it properly.

---8---

It's probably just speedfit covering their backsides. I suppose it depends
as you say on pressure, and probably how well the joint is supported (is
it
trying to pull out or bend sideways)

I have had a speedfit connection to chromed copper pipe pull out under mains
pressure.
