My central heating system uses speedfit pipes. When the heating is on, there is an intermittent creaking/ticking noise from the pipes. I have narrowed it down to a couple of connections - a 28mm elbow and a straight connector. What exactly would make these creak? Should I replace the whole connectors or just the inserts or the actual pipe?? Or can I just lubricate the joints somehow? If so, what with, and on which parts exactly?

Are you sure it's the actual fittings that's making the noise? usually it's a pipe running across a joist that makes this noise, try putting some felt or card between the pipe & the joist

Do away with the push fit & replace with Conex.
sounds like the fitting are being subjected to alot of strain/stress
