A lot of the time you have to use a compression elbow to connect to the shower. Make sure you use a standard insert in your speedfit pipe for that.(i.e. one that doesn't have an o-ring on it)
Insert will depend on what pipe manufacturer. Speed fit pipe, use speed fit inserts(these have o rings on) polypipe use standard inserts (no o rings on insert).

Do Speedfit still make the standard inserts??? Everytime I've asked for a bag of inserts recently I've been given the super seal ones automatically.
I prefer Poly Plumb anyway.
Did you know JG Speedfit guaruntee their fittings if they're on another manufacturers pipe. The other manufacturers don't do that. That came from the plumbing merchants a few weeks back. I called JG to confirm it and got it from the horses mouth. Its true.
Speedfit make metal inserts designed specifically for compression fittings

Really? Only metal ones I've seen are poly or hep.
The jg standard plastic inserts without orings are designed for compression anyway just with copper olives
I always adapt to copper tube before I go compression. So not been an issue. Can't stand to see compression fittings on plastic pipe.
