I used to use *end feed* fittings which are about a tenth of the price

I'm not a great plumber, but around 10 seconds to solder a joint, a
little more to flux it and steel wool it first. Say 30 second.

That's not what takes the time. It's deciding where the pipe is to go,
cutting it and bending it and holding it there.

Which is the same fr compression.

The real time saver is flexible plastic pipe . That is FAST.

Compression fittings take virtually no time at all, and don't require equipment and heat and so forth to use. Some people just like to do things "the tradition correct way" without thinking.

You are very obviously not a plumber. I *know* 100% that you are wrong.
I used to use *end feed* fittings which are about a tenth of the price
of compression joints. Soldering a joint doesn't take much more time to
solder than using compression fittings. At least to a plumber it doesn't.

I'm not a great plumber, but around 10 seconds to solder a joint, a
little more to flux it and steel wool it first. Say 30 second.

That's not what takes the time. It's deciding where the pipe is to go,
cutting it and bending it and holding it there.

Which is the same fr compression.

For soldering you have to hold it there a lot longer than just tightening a screw thread.

The real time saver is flexible plastic pipe . That is FAST.

Indeed, that stuff is great.

They tend to look neater, too. However, they are not as easy to undo as a

simply pout a pipe cutter in and remove the section.

OR heat em up and knock em apart

you cant reuse a compression joint anyway. You need to cut the pipe and
use a new olive.

No they don't. Compression fittings are far more expensive and less
reliable.

Funny my house is ful of them and not one has failed in the 16 years
I've
been here. As for expense, how much of your time is taken to solder a
joint?

Less time than when using a compression fitting when you know what you
are
doing.

Bull****. Both involve cutting the pipe to the right length. After
that you just screw the thing on.

Peter, you don't know what you are talking about.

Yes, I had noticed that. But upon peering in, it looks like
it's missing!



Well it'll almost certainly be a hex socket head so it won't look like
much. Have you tried an Allen key down the hole?

That's because people are more well off.

Nope, its primarily due to the **** you lot eat. Nothing to do with the
water.

Poorer people eat lower quality food.

The dregs are too stupid to eat sensibly.

Fact.

Which takes longer than soldering it when you know what you are doing.
The soldered joint requires no support either.

You are very obviously not a plumber. I *know* 100% that you are wrong.
I used to use *end feed* fittings which are about a tenth of the price
of compression joints. Soldering a joint doesn't take much more time to
solder than using compression fittings. At least to a plumber it
doesn't.

Compression fittings take virtually no time at all,

Same with soldered fittings.

and don't require equipment and heat and so forth to use.

Irrelevant to a plumber.

Some people just like to do things "the tradition correct way" without
thinking.

And any plumber with even half a clue knows that the time
to do the joint is only a tiny part of the total time to do the
job and is the same for a plumber with soldered joints and
compression fittings, with soldered ones much cheaper
and arent going to ever need to be replaced when done
by someone who knows what they are doing.

Plumbers who have learnt how to do them want to make use of the pointless
skill.

They do what is cheapest and is the best technology.

Compression fittings are for clowns like you that don't have a ****ing
clue.

They last forever too.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never had a
****ing clue.
