Brass Fitting Prices

[Knickam]

Hi,

Going to be moving a radiator in a bedroom. Will be using copper pipe
with solder ring fittings.

Looking in screwfix there seem to be 3 makes availiable
Yorkshire, Comap and Flowflex and quite a price difference between them.

Although the price does not affect me much as I only need about 6
elbows, It would be interesting to find out if people think it is worth using the more expensive type.

Thanks
Ian

I'd be interested to know the answer to this, fair enough when it comes to compression fittings then the Kutterlites and Conex have a deeper fitting depth I think and are more reliable than the cheap ones.

But endfeed I don't know, I mean copper is copper right?

Hi there,

Use Endfeed instead of Soldering

There's two types of solder fittings jayjay.

Ones with solder in the fitting (solder ring) and endfeed where you add the solder, and a fraction of the costs.

Thanks doitall for clearing that up, I read it as:

"Use endfeed instead of soldering"

Not

"Use endfeed instead of solder ring"

Doh!!
