Vices

I think I will need a bench vice to help with 22mm compression joints.

Will this be strong enough mounted on a B&D simple workbench screwfix number 14259 ( 3" portable vice )

or should I go with the big Record vice? 16269

Normally a couple of wrenches are enough. You don't want to overtighten the joints.....

It helps to lubricate the sliding surfaces too (not the sealing surfaces). I typically use a turn or two of PTFE on the thread and on the back shoulder of the olive, but keep it clear of the sealing surfaces. It also really helps to have exactly the right spanners rather than using an adjustable King Dick or similar.

How boring, I thought that this was going to be all about sex and drugs. Mind you, I have just seen the enuendo at the end.
