Hi
I'm just looking to plumb in our utility washing machine and sink. Cold is great as the historical pipe work is copper happy days I'll just continue with soldering copper.
The hot has plastic coming in. I've used JG and various other plastic fittings before that seemed ok. On this job I've tested with 2 different pushfit elbows and managed to pull them off. Yes I used some force but I wanted to make sure they hold - no problem with the plastic coupler that's solid.
So I was wondering what's causing these to pull off? I've ordered some brand new ones for a comparison but if I'm honest I'd much rather use compression/solder.
Thanks
