Grunff you put me in mind of a certain individual who replies to posts
asking for advice on boiler selection which include the phrase "...but

That's very hurtful.

There's actually a very good reason why I asked the question. Let's say
you're avoiding pushfit because of potential longevity issues, ok? Now,
I have no problem with that if you're going to be using copper throughout.

However, these hoses are all rubber anyway, so the hose itself wil last
as long as the pushfit connector O ring.



It's just that in fact I'm getting some help on this job from an old
retired plumber friend, who refuses point-blank to touch push-fit with a
bargepole, and I know for sure that if I bought some, he wouldn't use it.

Surely it follows that he wouldn't want to use these rubber hose things
either?


However, by extrapolation I think I've sussed which Sfix parts are the
compression-fitting equivalents of what you reccomended, so thanks for
that!

I couldn't be bothered to paste in a whole load of links for the
compression ones, I knew you'd figure it out.
