1) Like all connectors, Speedfit can 'pop' if not installed correctly.

2) If your radiators are too hot then check that the boiler thermostat isn't set too high and is operating correctly.

3) Ever heard of spell-check?

Or it may be that at least two of us have standards.

ur nead too coment sugests tht u alsow maye nead two get a lyfe lol (y)
 
maybe i was pointing out that because somebodys english is not upto your standards does not entitle you to criticise them for it. people dont do good english for many reasons....... Lack of education, learning difficulties or whatever. No need to belittle somebody for it.

my need to comment is my need to say something about what i dont feel is very nice.
 
Well said. Personally I wouldn't use speedfit on hot water as the contraction and expansion can cause them to move. If you can't solder and you don't mind how it looks, use compression fittings, they're a lot more durable and easy to fit. Just remember to use jointing compound and don't over tighten the olives, hand tight then half turn with a spanner. If any weep you can nip them up.
 
Consider me modern but I sometimes allow my wife to leave the area of the kitchen sink.
All be it with my permission, we can't have things getting out of hand
