i notice on Pegler’s website that they don’t recommend jointing compound on their compression / Prestex fittings and i wonder what people’s real-world experiences are with them, if not using compound? is it the case that higher-quality fittings genuinely don’t require any compound? TIA
 
Would always give a comp fitting a bit of paste
