There seem to be several systems around which allow pipes to be joined
without using tools.

At first sight, at any rate, they all look basically similar - having

O-ring
seals and a means of gripping the pipe.

Is there a FAQ or document/chart anywhere which explains any subtle
differences between the different offerings? I have in mind component
construction, assembly method, disassembly potential, application areas,
cost, advantages and disadvantages.

I note that some Speedfit fittings say that they're only suitable for

water
up to 65 degC - thus ruling out central heating use in most cases - and

some
of them seem to have elaborate inserts, with several O-rings on.


The temperature limited ones are normally for their range of service
valves rather than standard connectors so there's no problem with
central heating. The optional O-ring pipe insert just provides extra
security - I've had no leaks to date without using them.
IME the pipe pushes home more easily with Speedfit connectors probably
because of the twist lock feature.


That is probably because they are so slack and leak a lot.


What I meant was the allowance to twist lock, which provides a tighter
seal, makes it easier to push the pipe home than other fittings, IME.

If you think a hacksaw leaves no burrs, you're not only not a pro
but blind.

You know you're not a pro and blind?

It explains your grammar, then. The other is common knowledge.
