But you’ve done the whole install in press fit mate?? That’s about 10 times the price compared to an end feed fitting?

That's correct beneath the boiler it's done in crimping fittings. It's more expensive but a lot safer, faster and last a lot longer. Don't get your question though?

Why is it safer Ron? Man has been soldering pipes underneath boilers since lpg has been around. Faster!! ..... probably not by long, compared with soldering. I’d like to see one of your installs, where you ain’t got a blank canvas and you’re swapping out a boiler connecting onto pipework in a tight area, I’d absolutely floor you with speed and neatness..... lovely pulled bends

Last a lot longer.......eh??? Soldered pipework will out live neoprene o rings hand on foot!

You give those fittings a knock in 15 years time and they’d probably leak

You said you couldn’t stretch the budget yet you’ve used the most expensive fittings

I’m not criticising I like using pressfit as well but when you are having to save on other parts of the install because you’re using expensive fittings it just doesn’t make sense

The seal is just a double protection. The older fittings used be sound without being crimped but due to some incidents over the years they changed the fittings and did the sc contur which helps to see if you crimped a fitting or not ( obviously ones pressurised ). It will literally spuirt all over the place.

That's the way I plumb. I chose Latest technology which customers like. No one has ever said that plumbing is cheap. I don't do cheap but quality.

I get your point but I talk to the customer before I quote and obviously find out there budget to start with. How often you go quoting and it turns out people haven't got enough budget its literally a waste of your time and petrol. I'd rather know beforehand where I am at with the customer. I don't currently corners neither do I RIP anyone off but make sure the customer gets what he agrees and pays for.

You and your contest show me some of your installs darling I'd be really curious
