Do Speedfit still make the standard inserts??? Everytime I've asked for a bag of inserts recently I've been given the super seal ones automatically.

I prefer Poly Plumb anyway.

Did you know JG Speedfit guaruntee their fittings if they're on another manufacturers pipe. The other manufacturers don't do that. That came from the plumbing merchants a few weeks back. I called JG to confirm it and got it from the horses mouth. Its true.

We had a demo from them at college, fantastic company, back up wise. Loads of freebies!

Similiar to the green oil pipe ones?

Tbh I only thought JG did inserts with o rings. Never used compression on plastic pipe.

Really? Only metal ones I've seen are poly or hep.
The jg standard plastic inserts without orings are designed for compression anyway just with copper olives

Unless they were old stock, and are now discontinued. But yes definitely.

I always adapt to copper tube before I go compression. So not been an issue. Can't stand to see compression fittings on plastic pipe.

I think you should only use it where it will never be seen, ugly material.

I agree completely. But no issues with it where it can't be seen. Just don't like compression fittings on it full stop. I'm sure I've had to do it in the past, but as a rule of thumb I try to adapt to copper and then fit the comp' fitting.

I'm the same, have never fitted any shower, electric or otherwise, on plastic.
