They're ok. I prefer pushfit though. Can just push the pipe in once

Don't laugh. For the first time ever I used pushfit last week. I've
always been a copper man myself, and this new fangled plasticy stuff
didn't appeal to me. I felt it couldn't possibly be capable of
replacing copper - not the plastic piping, but the joints - how could
a push fitting possibly be strong enough and secure enough to not
cause flooding?

It has to be said that I'm still not a plastic convert, but at least
I've broken the ice, and from here on will be less inclined to ignore
pushfit.

Just trying to get to grips with the various different types of
pushfit fittings now!
