inserts on plastic pipe ????

[2ptjoe]

I'm fairly new to all this plumbing lark and my question i think is simple

Do you always need to use inserts on the white plastic pipe ?

I thought you did as good practice but others i speak to have never.

Any thoughts please ?

And they will regret it BIG time when their joints fail.
As Rico99 says...

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS

Thanks for that, i'll forward that on.

In his defence he said he bought a multi pack of connections for ScrewFix. About £100 worth of every elbow , T piece ect you could want but it contained no inserts to which he said if you needed them then they would have been includedso started to wonder he may have a point....

i didn't have an answer to that one

perhaps screwfix sell the packs for people to use copper pipe and push-on fittings, hence no inserts
