Speedfit on Hot copper pipe

[s11DIY]

Guys, Need some advise. In my kitchen I saw speedfit plumbing fittings (equal straight joint connector) on the copper hot pipe which is coming from the combi boiler.

Just want to know, will it be OK or do I need get it sorted?

How close? John Guest recommend copper pipe for at least the first metre from the boiler.

No, they should be fine.

Some boiler makers ask for just copper pipes for the first one or two meters but I don't think that any prohibit plastic fittings.

First few meters ON THE HEATING pipes as they can reach 90*+ (when a fault occurs such as an airlock ) past what some plastics are rated for I have seen them split on the Flow and returns even after 1m from the boiler Baxi measured it ha ha.

The Hot pipe would never get past 65* so plastic is fine on that

It seems less than a meter and the combi boiler is baxi 105he.
