Reusing Wickes copper pushfit joints

[Richard Hamer]

Hello, Does anyone know if there are any pitfalls with the copper pushfit joints, if they are dismounted and then reconnected - for instance, to shorten a piece of pipe? Are they prone to leaking when used second time round? If so, is this likely to be immediately apparent, or a problem which would become horribly obvious at a later date? Thanks, Richard

Never had any problem with them, even after re-using.
