gas fittings on water pipe

[rego]

is it ok to repair a 25mm pe water pipe with a 25mm galv joiner designed for gas pipe (george fisher)

 

[corgiman]

if it dont leak its ok

I am sure thats fine, people throw teddies out of prams if you do it vice versy

Just make sure the fitting doesn't have any coatings on that may leach into the water. Gas fittings are not supposed to be used on water pipe, especially not the yellow palstic ones. Should be OK with galv though.

oh good point

is it approved for potable water?

Why Bother?

I was about to say:

Go and get a proper coupler, it will only be a couple of quid and you'll have peace of mind.

Aww lads
