Yes. Use the correct insert for the pipe you're using though.

Since when have *you* taken any notice of that? ISTR that the makers say
*don't* use a hacksaw to cut the pipe!

The makers say no. Best fit good quality brass compression fittings as
pushfit can be big trouble.

Generally speaking, yes, although I prefer no to mix brands unless I
have to. If in doubt you can use compression (with inserts) for the
transition from one brand to the other.

Generally speaking,


Plank, Generally speaking no. What Hepworth said on this very
forum..."Hepworth do not recommend mixing Hep2O with other manufacturers
pipe or fittings as we can only guarantee dimensional tolerances and quality
control of our products."
