Discuss MLCP Pipe & Press Fittings in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi all

Always used copper with either endfeed or compression fittings as I know once done it's done. I know we live in a plastic throwaway world now but plastic has its place but not in my pipework. I have seen a plastic push fit connector let go when the spring washer inside broke, ok perhaps the pipe should have been clipped both sides of the fitting but it was not and when the owners came back after a weekend away several ceilings had come down and one hell of a mess. I don't mind being restricted to 3 metre lengths and having to join as peace of mind prevails. Maybe when the day comes that plastic is approved for gas then I will have more confidence.
 
Copper here too, think it looks good and its reliable and the pyro in me loves soldering. Like the look of MLCP but really can't afford to invest in expensive tools at the moment but might look into it when a bit more financially stable.
