Fitting Speedfit T- Piece into copper pipe

[Scousemooncat]

Hello All,

Ongoing bath fitting saga - with the floor up etc can now get on with the job properly!....HOWEVER, how would you recommend going about fitting a 22mm t-piece into straight 22mm copper pipes (hot and cold) that are fixed at either end (one end to toilet/basin and the other to the boiler/tank) there will be some play once the pipes are cut, but any tricks or "dont under any circumstances" hints???...

Cheers
Simon

their is no secret...just loosen pipe as best as u can and bend it (force it) in.

splendid!...just that I was surprised how little you have to remove from the pipe to get the 'T' in...suspected it was going to come down to "gentle persuasion" ...of course being careful not to knacker the o-ring i guess...

Cheers for the pointer!
