I think that is very good advice. If I were making some joints in a

cleaned the pipe all the way round, or was unable to inspect the joint

before on some occasions.

Hmm. I'd like to be sure the pipe was clean and undamaged with compression
fittings too. And a scratch which might cause a problem with a compression
fitting won't with a solder type. Then there's the problem of tightening a
compression fitting in an inaccessible place.

Its not a case of being a real plumber at all, just horses for courses,
otherwise why do you think they still make 'em?.....

They allow dismantling.
