I used a Shark Bite fitting to replace a soldered copper elbow that developed a pin hole leak. I like that no modifications were needed and it's brass. I secured to floor joist and ran copper wire around so couldn't come off in either direction.
Would it be ok for me to only use these JG pipes and fittings on flow and return pipes all the way to a radiator valve or would I need to use copper pipes to connect to the valves?
i don't understand what the internal part does besides add cost and take time. Is it to strengthen the assembly for side loading? I also didn't quite catch what the twisting of the two ends does. The JG fittings that i have used just push in, no twist. Does it squeeze the ss clamp ring down further? I just found this JG video, so i guess i answered my own questions :). ua-cam.com/video/v6kRm3KKCQo/v-deo.html
Great advice thanks

Very helpful thanks bud
Hi, what the best for central heating COPPER or PLASTIC pipes?
Thanks for the well detailed tutorial. Would this push fitting work from a copper pipe to a plastic one?
Hi Damon, definitely. Just make sure you use the correct insert for the plastic pipe.
So for a push fit tee joint how much do I cut out of the copper pipe?
to what temperature 🌡 can work ,
°C tolerance?
How reliable are these plastic fittings when fitted to copper pipe .
should i use a pipe insert on copper pipe?
No.
