You could use them but it would probably create a great indoor water feature. Push fit pipe is probably cheaper per meter than hosepipe anyway.
I'm not a plumber,but have worked with 15mm copper & have only used soldered or compression fittings. Are push fit any good?
Push fit is great when installed correctly with the right inserts, it need to be put together properly, supported correctly, never mix brands as in John guest speed fit and hep h20. Most of the leaks occur from idiot installers rather than the product being faulty. Don't solder a copper joint too close to it and all will be good.
Thanks Pete. I don't intend doing much pipe work nowadays, but I'll shy away from them. Showing my age now, but anyone remember a Kingley tool? I've still got one...Maybe I'll donate it to a museum.
All I want to do is add a tee piece in place of that of that clamp and valve as it's pathetic and the worse purchase ever!! Can I do this with a plastic tee piece
Don't do it, the tees are not designed to work with those hoses , buy a new hose, move the valve up and then tee into a new bit of copper or speed fit / h20
It works on an eccentric cam. You push it into the end of the pipe & then, using the tommy bar, rotate clockwise. This forces the ball to stand proud of the tool & as you turn it forms a raised collar which is instead of an olive. Rotate the tool anti clockwise & withdraw it. It would only work on the old imperial copper tube, which was thicker wall.
Well the advise I received on here wasn't exactly what I needed. Guess you can't beat just doing some reading and some looking at your local plumbers for some ideas.
Graham I'm sorry but a few of us did vote no, and a couple of us said you can't use speed fit on flexi pipe / hosepipe. I appreciate that the conversation went off topic but I'm not sure how anyone could of made it any clearer! Good luck
It looks like you've tried to fit a self cutting tap onto a washing machine hose, I'm amazed that you aren't flooded.
Well first of all my name is Graeme not Graham. It could of been clearer hence the reason I went else where for advise... Never mind my problem has been resolved and using forums hasn't been what I expected.
The product I bought said any kind of pipe work will do....guess there's a lesson to be learned....don't believe everything the product says!
