If it has to be plastic. Uponor q&e.
No "o" rings and no inserts to restrict the flow.

speed fit

 

[dancinplumba]

Any, but only polybutelene not pex

 

[Subby]

Speedfit because it's more common and you don't need a tool to demount. I wish everyone used the same pipe as they aren't all compatible according to the manufacturers, and some of the others are a right b#tch to get off

 

[Unregistered]

Is hep2o compatible with the others?

 

[plumben]

JG speedfit if I have to but that rare only really use the tap connectors now with copper as I think the rubber washer is better than fibre and the ability to move it means it stays tight when tightening onto the ISO and such

 

[jonnyswamp]

On new builds, Hep for heating and Q & E for hot etc
On existing, copper

Polyplumb if you don't want it to come off, ever!

I rate speedfit as about the worst of all and only use it for temporarys, if were talking pushfit then I think polyplumb is the best with hep a close second.

If were talking just plastic in general then Rehau, Uponor and buteline are all superior IMO to the above pushfit variety's.

 

[hammers4spanner]

I try to always use copper, but have used Hep on rare occasions, mainly to join to an existing plastic piped job.

Here in this photo is a few samples I kept of plastic pipe that failed.
One to the left is non barrier and burst in 2010 winter, despite the talk that it can't burst if froze.
Next 2 are when heating systems overheat. Both barrier pipes and basically melted.
I really don't like plastic
