"StealthUK" wrote in message om... "Set Square" wrote in message ... 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. |

You know you're not a pro and blind? It explains your grammar, then. The other is common knowledge. -- *Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked?* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
