compression fittings

[ugjointer]

Is it ok to use ordinary compression fittings, i,e brass etc,with chrome pipes.I have just read that push fit are not very good with chrome pipes in that they will not grip the pipe so I am considering using conex fittings.regards

Compression are OK with chrome, would probably use a sealer as well on the joint. Would not use push fit if I were you.

Use chrome compression...you see this in many a public toilet if you want to see what it looks like??

I have seen what happens with push fit on chrome....holds for a while then goes.... Kkkkkkkaaaaabooooooommmmmmm.... in the middle of the night.....let it be noted that I did not fit them...I was in fitting compression afterwards!
