I dont trust trust compression fittings. I did some a year ago as a temporary solution and now Im replacing them with crimp fittings, most of them had the o-rings broken or crushed. If you're doing that many fittings is better to just buy a crimping tool, manual or hydraulic, they cost around 80euros but the fittings are also cheaper, so you save 1 to 2euros on each fitting. Keep in mind the brass rusts and oxidize burried in the mortar. Good job anyways.
You should always put plastic inserts into plastic pipe. ALWAYS. Anyone watching please remember. Good video for a first time👍 How did you bend the pipe? Did you heat it up?
Always plastic inserts. The pipe has a kind of metal tubing on the inside that makes bending very easy, obviously no sharp bends. Thx for comment, I learned the hard way with the plastic inserts!
Johan, I am Irish enjoyed your video,but at 7.35 in the video you use a straight fitting with male iron to compression could you not have used a 90 degree male iron to compression you would not have had to chase the wall so wide in my country we call that a 15mm 315.

@thatsouthafrican is that a specific pipe that has metal on the inside?
