Thought I posted this last night - apologies if I did and it's here
twice.

What do people think a safe length of copper pipe between a blow torch
and a plastic pushfit fitting is? I'm going to have plastic in the
ceilings with a copper stub coming down - the plasterer reckons 6"
will be ok. I'm worried that I will stuff up the (inaccessible)
fitting when I solder on the rest of the pipe. Am I being paranoid?
Will a wet rag around the pipe suffice?

Nutkey was thinking very hard :

6" with a good and wet rag fastened at the top, will prevent the heat
travelling up beyond it providing you do the joint in a reasonable
time.
