Hi,We have recently moved into a new house and arekeen to have a megaflow (mains pressure) boilerfitted to improve the water pressures upstairs.I noticed that a lot of the bathroom pipework isthe new pushfit plastic pipe stuff.Will this be able to withstand mains pressure ifwe have a megaflow boiler fitted or would we haveto replace it with copper?Ive no idea how good this plastic stuff is(Ive only ever used copper), it doesseem to be very popular. How reliable is it andwhat sort of longevity do you get from the fittings?Thanks for any info,Matthew

Especially those who can't follow maker's instructions on how to cut the pipe.

BTW, 'many' aren't you. Thank gawd.
