Re: Plastic Pipe

["Alancc" <alan.cc@xxxxxxx>]

I've used a mix of the two, push fit plastic for runs behind cupboards and
sinks then copper for the runs up to radiators where the pipe is seen. I
would not put any joint below the floor screed sods law it would leak.
Don't
forget to put the locking collar on the push fittings if not and you catch
the release lip the fitting will pull off easily.
