I see Screw fix sell two types of plastic pipe: PE-X and polybutylene. Is there any difference between the two or do I just use whichever is the cheapest or available? 22mm is only available in polybut. in SF as far as I could see - yes, I know I should go to a proper plumbers merchant ;)
If I use pipe inserts do I use the same compression and/or push fit fittings as for copper pipe? I presume soldering isn't possible ;)
