Hi all
Wondering what folks think of this. Had a new boiler fitted a few months ago, right from the get go I said it had to be all copper. No problem, we only use copper they said. They came and installed and did a good job, and mostly happy with it. Few niggles like having to clean off massive amounts of flux off the joins, and a couple of pipes are touching each other which is a bug bear of mine. In moving one of the pipes, I looked under a floor board (actually chipboard t&g) and I see two plastic speed fits joining two copper pipes, hot and cold. Now I can sympathise as to why this was done, as access was terrible, but now I'm worried that if I move the pipes slightly (approx 2m lengths, unclipped so they have a bit of give) will it disturb the plastic elbows and cause them to leak?
Or are pishfit on copper fairly compliant like that? I have confidence in soldered joins but no experience of plastic push fit.
Thanks
