How vital are inserts with pushfit plumbing with 22m acorn pipe?
I just did a very awkward plumbing job under my floorboards: I installed two push-fit stopcocks in the main send and return of my central heating system. After doing the job I realised I had forgotten to use the stainless steel pipe inserts in the ends of the 22mm Acorn pipes that went into the stopcocks.
The joints are not leaking at present, but are they likely to become leaky in future? How vital is it that I take the floorboards up again and redo the joints with inserts in the pipe-ends?
