How does it fit?

[johnscales]

I'm looking at an item on the screwfix website (Yorkshire Tectite Sprint Street Elbow 15mm 63054). before I go out an buy a couple can anyone tell me how this kind of connector is fitted. I'll have a TRV at the stem end secured by the nut with olive off the TRV. Is the othe side a simple push fit?

Thanks

With street fittings, one end is connected using a compression fitting...the other end accepts 15mm pipe as a push fit.

Update, Have just seen it on a 'push-fit' link so I guess it does just push and fit but can someone convince me that they work well.
I'm going to be freezing the pipe before the joint and as i'll be working against time I wnat to be sure that these are as simple to fit as they appear.

If the pipe is clean and round - no paint, dints, marks etc the push on systems are fine. No chrome pipe though!
