      Brass olives shouldn't be used on plastic pipes as they're stronger than copper so won't crimp. They have to be copper olives.

    Great video again, can you tell me the name of the jointing compound please. ❤

    It'd be nice if you showed the reality of coupling up existing soldered copper to plastic i.e. removing a soldered copper fitting in order to join a piece of PEX barrier pipe.

    Can screw a 1 inch male copper pipe to a 1 inch female pvc? I’ve done it several times and it’s leaking.

    My plumber did the pressure compression coupling but now the joint between the copper and the plastic is leaking water.

    Why do fittings have two measurements, ie. 15mm and half inch.
    Why are they not just 15mm to 15mm ?

    @stephenharris5729 Рік тому +1

    You can connect 15mm copper to 25mm plastic pipe by using a plason fitting and 15mm rubber on the that’s how we connected the pipe underground in 1990s

    You forgot a method? It's always just compression fitting or a push fit. Unless you mean those glue-on-to-plastic adapters that have pushfit/compression ends. Those I find are exotic.

    also plastic tube have markings down the side
    this is to help knowing its pushed all the way home
    if cut on the mark the fitting should reach the next mark
    also speedfit use 2 inserts plain mainly used for comp fittings and superseal for push fitting

      I’ve tried that as a test just to see and it works a treat. Copper press fitting onto hep pipe with the stainless insert. Pumped up to 10 bar.
