Solder Ring Fitting, Solder Ring did not appear

Aye go for it - just remember to flush out any grot from the pipes.

I'd thought the best way to do that would be to just turn the water on before fitting the taps, cistern, etc with isolation valves turned on so that only 1 pipe is "live" at a time and drain 80-100 litres of water from each into a bucket. That reasonable?

Or maybe you can get something that fits on the end of a pipe and connects to a hose, without buggering up the pipe...

Just a natural gravity flow will do fine - its just to get rid of any solder bits and oxides from the pipes.

I ended up re-using bits of pipe which have fine masonry and plaster dust in so I'd been planning to give them a decent flush...

It'll be fine...just flush the pipework out before connecting it up to whatever appliance. (Especially vital if its a boiler or shower!).

You were right, it was fine, no leaks
