Good vid and easily understood. Can those fittings hold under 60-80 lbs of pressure or are they just good for lower pressure pipes like sprinkler systems?

[plumberparts]

@JustRockinit According to Hep, the new generation pipe they do will work at 12bar at 20 degrees C so that's about 174PSI which is pretty insane. Regards PP

Any idea where I can get one of them 'small metal sleeves' ?

[plumberparts]

@PowderpuffPuncher Hi there. Make sure you get the insert that relates to your pipe manufacturer (JG speedfit/hep20 etc) otherwise they will not fit! Go to our website plumberparts.co.uk then click on screwfix

I've rarely ever used these - only when supplied with showers or water softeners (when I cant get a compression fitting on). Over in Ireland we only really use Tec-Tite or compression fittings for such connections - although I prefer to solder or silver solder any hot connections.

Any idea on what pressure they'll hold when hot water is run through them?

[JustRockinit]

Going to Home Depot and see if they have it.I bought compression fittings but they didnt hold.Will try this over the weekend.Thnx plumberparts.
