Polyplumb here, and polyfit when I can find it. Personally I hate the Hep2o white system with a passion, especially those awful plastic thingys which you need to use if you want to disassemble it, and it looks so ugly. Anyone else agree?
 
Poly plumb if out of site. Poly fit if not. Poly fit is nice if it needs to be demountable as it has a release ring so you don't have to dismantle the fitting to remove it from the pipe.
Can't stand hep 20. John guest is good also. Have used most of the types and never had any problems with any of them that could be attributed to the design or quality of the fitting. I just make sure I always use the same brand inserts as fitting and whatever is the cheapest easiest to lay pipe as it makes no difference which brand of pipe is used with which fitting IMHO. Always give the fitting a little squirt from my aerosol silicone grease can. Also I always over estimate cut lengths, better to have a length under compression between 2 fittings than stretched between 2 fittings. Hardly ever use it on show. Poly fit stop ends are nice as they are a little bigger and are easier to get a grip of when removing from pipe after use I keep one that I always use for plugging the vent on a powerflush for example.
 
I prefer JG, although a certain part of the decision is because that is what my local merchant stocks. I would also add how disappointed I was when I used the lay-flat pipe- it doesn't exactly just fall flat like a rope as seen in their adverts.
 
Any feedback on the crimp types? Never looked much at them so far.

Never seen the Floplast pipe being used but I have seen it listed in a few catalogues.

Never had a problem with the lay flat, always done what it says on the tin. But then ive only used the 15.

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but donā€™t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...

Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable. The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.
