leak from poly plumb

[smartin]

Hi
Can anyone tell me if poly plumb is okay for use with a high pressure system? I carried out visual check on component but it leaked after 2 days.🙁

When you say High pressure do you mean mains pressure, if so then they should be fine. Although the fittings are easy to use you do need to be careful about cutting the pipe square (use a proper slice), keeping the fittings clean and using silicon lube. Whenever i've had a problem its always when i've rushed it.

Oh and dont forget the inserts on plastic pipe.
