I've now found my friendly and very local plumber who is happy to do
my bits of gas connection and so on. He's recommending osma-gold as
being a good push-fit system. In the past I've used speedfit and
Hep2o. Speedfit is never really convincing and he reckons osma-gold is
cheaper than hep.

Does anyone know a good place to get osma-gold (preferably online) for
a reasonable price. Speedfit has the advantage that Screwfix stock it
which means no hassling for discounts with the plumbers merchant.

Any advice?

No, I was thinking of doing the gas-pipe in chocolate, after all the
gas itself isn't hot.

More seriously, gas pipe in copper of course. CH and water pipes in
push fit EXCEPT next to boiler and underneath the ground floor due to
potential rodent problems (1 rat killed, 1 mouse captured to date).

Cheers,

Fash

I got my Osma gold bits Travis Perkins (Eastleigh) and Ebay. Have to be
careful on prices off Ebay.

Yes. Avoid pushfit. Use good quality brass compression joints which are no
more expensive and probably cheaper. Pushfit is problematic. Don't gamble,
you could lose big time.
