Have noticed my success rate with compression fittings fall over the last year or so. Am getting a few that weep. When I back to nut off to have a look the olive isn't over tighthed and I always clean the pipe first. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this whether it's just me or the quality of fittings has decreased. Have recently started using V2 plus on the olive. This seems to give a perfect joint all the time. But obviously adds time in as have to back the nut off after tightening to apply.

Quality is dropping off for every day fittings unless you use conex , kuterlite and the like
What’s the texture like comparable to jet blue ?
So the Kuterlite is top quality Pegler and you can get them from Screwfix. See Screwfix also stock Pegler's Endex end feed fittings for soldering. For those with an Xpress tool would you also do Pegler VSH?
Cheers,

All decent quality kuterlite, pegler, conex for compression fittings, prefer Geberit for crimping.
I do obviously had to be suitable for its use with gas. Kop
