I'm using plastic piping, PEX. I'm using pipe inserts of course too.
Is this setup ok for compression fittings?

Similar price... surely the one with the knob on it is faster and easier to use?
*edit*
Oooof that came out bigger than planned
That is why it is used under floors and behind walls and only copper on display. Plastic must be well supported. I yea olden dayes horizontal lead pipe runs were supported on a wooden baton to avoid sagging. It is advisable to do the same with plastic pipes, especially hot water plastic pipes.But of course us professionals dont like to use plastic pipes ( or valves ).
Copper is best !
Its not eaten by vermin.
It can withstand a smaller fire.
It does not flop and look horrible.
Will you please edit your post and take out the picture. It upsets the forum format.Just tought I would "quote" Dan, only because the picture is massive!
