Thanks for the reply, i noticed i posted the 15mm, but i have editied my post above will the 10mm one be ok for this sort of flexible plastiv pipe i have on the heating?

Yes.

You can get them from Q+B, you will need two inserts aswell.
Make sure the cut of the pipe is a clean one with no jagged edges

That one is 15mm, so you need one of these:

or one of these:

Thanks so much, what inserts would i need from Q & B? as the wiffe will have to get this in the morning?

Softus - The last link, is that the best to get then, as i will be covering this up so i would want the best. Just confused as a non plumber type person that the copper fixing is the best to use on plastic piping?

Many thnaks

2 speedfit super seal 10mm inserts.

May get that one tomorrow (temp fix0 and then order the copper one!

The Pegler fittings are particularly good quality, but the reason I suggested a compression coupling is because I don't know how the condition of your existing plastic pipe - if it has any scratches on then you risk having a leak past the O ring of a push-fit fitting.

Er, they're brass, not copper.
