Don't laugh, but I've just spent a couple (actually four :( )of fun hours cussing and swearing underneath my mate's sink unit plumbing it in.
I needed to tee off the existing hot and cold runs - simple enough, eh?
My question - how do the pros get a connector into an existing run? I cut the pipe, and then removed half and inch or so to allow for the body of the compression joint. But getting the connector in is a real pain when both pieces are anchored. Eventually managed it by a bit of brute force and careful bending of the pipes.
Is there an easier way??
Thanks
