bathroom fittin

Does anyone use push fit to install kitchen or bathroom sinks.
Would it be better to use copper and solder for a longer lasting protection.
 
use both - both have there plus points speedfit a lot quicker and easier install.

copper - fittings cheaper and a more proffesional finish.

either way depends how ive quoted and how long i have to do the job.

does that mean copper will last longer than push

Copper for new fits. Plastic is sometimes easier when changing sinks etc without replacing the units.
