I need to run new flow and returns in loft and soldering is out of the question,I will use copper as worried about plastic pipe but which is the best fitting compression, shark bite tectie classic or sprint or hep , not worried about cost !
Cheers

If your a diyer then sharkbite or tectite classic is probably your best choice alot of professionals use crimp fittings in lofts and vulnerable areas to avoid hot work , the tool can be hired from hire shops and fittings available from Bes online or most local plumbers merchants only thing is the presstool jaws need to be matched to the brand of fittings you use .
