Talking about 15mm copper piping
for hot water (rads) if that makes any
difference.


Push fit fittings work perfectly well
provided that you follow manufacturer
instructions. This means that tube
ends must be square and clean. If
you are using plastic pipe, use the
proper cutting tool. If you are using
copper, then a tubing cutter. On no
account use a hacksaw.


...Lord Hall informs us all with tripe

...and pull and push until it's through
