Correct they can't rotate due to the m profile
I'm not saying you can't force them round but I wouldn't like to

So there is no movement in these joints and can't be rotated like pushfit? Reason I'm asking is that I've cut into lines in boiler rooms with these fittings already on the pipe work and they have rotated, but still kept their seal.
Ah. So press fittings are a metal to metal seal? Perhaps I'll withdraw my main objection then.
That said, the fact that there is an o ring is a concern as how will you ever know if the copper seal if doing its job or if you are relying on a bit of rubber that will eventually degrade?
I am using a Geberit/Novo press & we have 3 in the company.
Find them brilliant but as other say they can be a bit bulky, Used them from bathroom/kitchen refurb to domestic new builds to commercial boiler house work.
I buy 90% of my fittings from william wilson & the other 10% from BES if i am putting an order in anyway. I haven't found anyone that can compete with WW yet.
We still solder occasionally & get apprentices to solder until year 3 at least, this way we should keep options open & training to a good standard.
