Hi,
I see SF sell QPL PB pipe but they don't seem to sell any QPL inserts, just Floplast ones. I thought there was a golden rule always to use the same brand of inserts as the pipe. Can I use the Floplast ones or do I need to find QPL ones (from where?). I see Toolstation sell QPL PB pipe but also an unknown make. Has anyone used this; what is it like and which inserts did you use? Thanks. |

I use Speedit ones when going into speedit fittings (though the 15mm ones are a bit tight in the QPL pipe - sometimes need to push really hard or hammer them in, bit of lubricant helps) and Hep2O ones (stainless steel) when going in to compression. -- John Stumbles Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and Pop Psychologists are from Uranus |

QPL say that the Floplast ones Screwfix sell are made by QPL for Floplast so will be ok. HTH. |
