Quick question about polyplumb fittings : I have removed a toilet from my house, which was fed from a pipe with polyplumb fittings. (copper comes in to the joint, and then plastic pipes feed the bathroom in the next room) Currently, I have a polyplumb tee fitting that needs to be changed...

Last question... Will it be easy to persuade a plumber to use one of these? I'm sure he doesn't want to spend the time ripping out the shower and building a new base. If he's not keen or hasn't heard of them, should I ditch him and a) try the job myself or b) find someone else? How...
