What the f*** does that have to do with plumbing (which you don't do) and central heating (which apparently you don't do)?
I don't see why. And even if it were true, which it isn't, the solution to that problem is to not install it where it's likely to be eaten.Agile said:The increase in the their population greatly increases the likelihood of rats eating plastic plumbing pipes.
Typical blinkered and unthinking viewpoint.Spent a year using push fit systems. Mostly ok, but enough leaks to convert me back to solder and compression.
It doesn't sound impressive, it sounds pitifully pathetic.Also, there is another plumber who I regularly quote against. I know part of his 'speil' is to extol the virtues of copper and shun pushfit systems - it sounds impressive and so I do the same.
Hundreds of situations: anywhere where push-fit meets the following criteria:grrinc said:Softus. I can only speak from my experiences. Do you know of an example where push fit fittings would be the best fitting for the job?
Indeed so - many people are blindly prejudiced, especially those in their latter years....from my experiences, customers ( especially the older generation who I mostly work for ) sound far less impressed with push fit systems then they do with copper solder and compression.
In that case my market must be very different to yours, because my customers judge my results on the above criteria, not whether two bits of pipe are connected with an alloy of refined copper and zinc instead of a lump of petro-chemical by-product.I could attempt to balance thier views with some good examples of pushfit, but what's the point? They are already sold on a good system and so am I.
