If you can use it, Boss white makes it a lot easier. Oil based!

Can't use it these days as non potable but it's bloody great still

Jet blue v2 I use like boss with slightly more solid but still workable

No, I wouldn't use it on Potable Water. Never used it for that.
That's why I said "if you can".

One positive from today - Yorkshire Xpress fittings are brilliant aren't they, made in seconds! I'm a convert.

How do you get them off again? Or cant you?

 

[TMHM]

fwiw - to my untrained eye - thats almost a work of art 🙂

Yes and no really you can't but if your careful with a grinder you can

not designed to be removable then like some? good to know 🙂

Yes not supposed to be removable but then if they are as reliable as they were when we installed them can't see you needing to. All joints go together in seconds perfectly. When guns become more affordable I can see them taking off big style. So much less time/hassle than soldering.

TBH I think there affordable you only need several bad joints that suck up an hour or two for it to pay for itself

The ones I saw were £700+.😱 How much do you charge an hour 😉

 

[ShaunCorbs]

30-90 an hour depending on what we're doing
