Looks like pictures been air brushed to me ;)

so back to my original thought,don't trust any plastic fittings,use plastic pipe for long runs if need be but use compression fittings to connect back to copper..... sorted :)
 
Polyplumb as it has an all stainless grip ring and once it grabs its never letting go! The grip ring is after the rubber o ring so the bit of pipe going into the O ring has not been scored by the grab ring, whereas most other fittings have the grab ring first.

Hep on other jobs.

Personally I NEVER use plastic between stud walls and under floorboards as it's just too vulnerable to mice. I have had 8 floods to deal with this winter from mouse damage to plastic. One caused thousands or pounds of water damage as the people were away when it happened.

The old HPB used to be like the polyplumb.

Yeah good point Id forgotten about vermin damage.
 
Thought they put a chemical in the plastic pipe and fitting that stops mice,rats and customers children from chewing it
 
Uponor unipipe every time, not a problem with vermin due to the aluminium layer PRESS fit fittings never had one fail yet cannot say the same for push fits. Brilliant stuff.
