If you need to use plastic pipe use good quality compression joints with
the
olive wrapped in PTFE on the plastic pipe. A far better and cheaper
joint
than pushfit. Also easily demountable.

All the pushfits I have worked with simply needed the collar to be
depressed to release. No need for a spanner. How easy is that? No need for
even a spanner.

Also PTFE tape is for use on taper threads, not on compression joints. It
is capable of making even Swagelok fittings leaky.
