I'm hesitant of mentioning joints (oops done it now) for fear of teasing aberdude. So sparkey, you were a fan of the last supper fitting? End feed. I can tell you are a tradesman whereas I was involved in merchants.
Sparkey, at his age, BfB suffers from a leaks of another kind. Can you recommend anything that might help him, poor soul?
BT, Sparkey's a tradesman not an effing urologist. Please don't take the pi$$ as a smack in the gob often upsets.
Just had to take my stopcock for a ride in the car. It wanted to be a motorised valve. I ran into Dai Verter along the way.
Most of the plumbing I've done of late is outdoor. Blue 25mm MDPE with compression fit joints. Given it's all agricultural stuff, the odd weeping joint makes no difference.
Yep, me too. It was delivered to us on huge drums and then had to be cut to length for the plumbers. Conex joints with a copper insert and special compression rings.
You had to be very careful with alky. Using the wrong inserts and compression cones was a recipe for frequent "blow offs". That is somewhat different to a blow job and can far more messy. Mopping up after a blow off also takes much longer and is far less pleasant even with a post event cigarette.
Perhaps you could tell me your inside diameter sir. We're not concerned with wall thickness as the ring is internal in this case. Ooh suit you sir.
