I am replacing my old shower mixer valve, etc, and propose to replace it with an Aquilisa 'exposed valve' using their easy fix bracket which has 'push fit' pipe/supply connectors. The shower hot & cold feeds are supplied via flexible grey (marked 'Hepworth UK Barrier pipe') 15mm polybutylene (PB) pipes (in good condition).
In fixing the pipes to the new bracket connectors, do I need metal inserts or will standard PB inserts be okay? Also, whilst water is off, will standard 'push fit' stop ends be ok until I fit new bracket which will probably be a day or two later - I will fit the pipe inserts before placing in stop ends? I have an unvented high pressure system. Sorry if this is a bit basic for the expert plumbers!
