Hi All,
Does anybody have any experience of using the push fit plastic connectors on central heating systems? How reliable and robust are they? I was thinking of adding antother radiator upstairs and just wondered how durable these fittings are. It would be a plastic section tee'ed into a copper run. A lot of places seem to sell it now (in Wickes at the weekend) and I like the idea of convenience. However am not sure about these fittings (but then I dont know how they work) in that they only seem to seat on an O ring. Presumably it must be reliable. The new build houses near us seem to have had plastic almost throughout, you could see it from the pavement during the build.
As an aside, as I mentioned last week I have a leak under a concrete floor and was going to replace that section with new copper. Would plastic also be suitable here?
Thanks for any advice, Matthew
