Wife's sister and their mum arriving on monday afternoon for a few days. Decided to test a previously unused rad in the bedroom I am decorating for them. Rad requires bleeding and takes too long. So I check the weater pressure and its near zero. I start to refill when the
22mm speedfit pipe unhinges itself from the brass stop valve. The valve more than the 3ft from the combi. Not too much water spilt as I was quickly into valve shutting mode. So I refit with a new olive.
I checked the speedfit site and I now realise that I had forgotten the pipe insert during the initial installation.
I checked wickes web site and they sell speedfit but don't seem to have speedfit pipe inserts. They have other pipe inserts..so are all/most pipe inserts generically compatible?
Assuming that refitting the speedfit with pipe inserts will fix the problem that is 'visible to me' Anything else I need to know?

PS I turned off the water to the rads so we have hot water.
