any pipe intended for gas needs a compression (if accessible) or end feed for the just in case i forget about it !!Following on from the dust in pipes thread. Want an easy way of preventing debris getting into new pipework. Slap a speedfit stop end on. Only problem is what happens if you stick one on a pipe intended for gas and forget about it? Easy drill a small hole in the end and paint it yellow. Can't be mistaken for a normal one and if you forget to remove it before gassing up it will show as a fail on the tightness test.
I've also got a test point threaded into the end of a speedfit connector to allow me to test gas pipes before they are connected to the meter. Also useful when you are trying to track down a leak as you can isolate sections of pipe and test them separately.
Push fits aren't permitted.. end feed comprehension only like you say
Oh.. ComprehensionNow you can comprehend end feed, try to comprehend autocorrect.....
I solemnly agree..Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.Comprehension fittings are great, they know what you want to do when you want it done..

When applying silicon sealant to a new bathroom, save hours of time cleaning down: -
1.) Apply silicon into joint, ensure joint is filled completely. Do not smooth down yet.
2.) Lightly spray a good quality silicon lubricant (like the WD40 silicon lubricant available from Screwfix) over the entire joint.
3.) Smooth joint off with your finger. No silicon will stick anywhere where silicon spray is.
Saves loads of time!

One problem with that the tiler has to take it off to fit the tiles
I’m the tiler. You let the bonding plaster to set first and then get on with tiling. No probs at all.
