[QUOTE="binky, post: 537092, member: 490"] There's a knack to using them properly. Firstly, you have to make sure any cut pipe ends are clean and burr free so they can't damage the seals when inserted into the push fittings. Secondly they need the little pipe inserts that support the pipe ends to work properly if using plastic pipe. Thirdly, don't cut the pipe slightly short so the seal sits right on the end of the pipe, and lets go sometime later. And last but not least, buy the expensive ones, coz it's a lot cheaper than what happens if you don't. 😃 Have to say I prefer proper soldered joints for anything under pressure. [/QUOTE]
