It's a swaged fitting,TypeA I think ,hated them. Kingsley(sp)?

Pretty sure they were owned by Conex/Yorkshire.

Not with you - do you mean who made compression fittings with silly nuts?? Or do you mean Wade?

(By the way the lagging on the pipe on the right could do with attention!)

Looks like asbestos rope

It looks like made by Typex. The name maybe on the end of the nut.

Laggin more than likely is asbestos, its in a high riser flat , and full riser (20 storeys) is going to be replumbed.

Just wana know what company made them!?

those fittings are no longer made[to my knowledge]it is a manipulative fitting you used a Kingsley tool to form the olives,i still own the tool and have used it on occasions in high rise applications
