The dreaded alkathene

[townfanjon]

ehup peeps , anybody know where I can get hold of a mains alkathene fitting to copper and liner .
No local merchants stock them the last one I needed got posted from Northern Island , but it was years ago .
Had a quick look on BES and cant find any.
Down to a bad experience with a philimac type fitting I am reluctant to use another but realise I may have to .
Thanks in advance
