Passable work or bodge job!?

Maybe solder ring was the norm in the past and they do have their uses. But these days they tend to be used more by DIYers.

Yah! I've made it to the hallowed ranks of a DIYer ... Even on my last job, multi-UVCs in 28mm etc I used solder ring. Only place I ever used end feed was where look was 'all'. Just never felt comfortable with 'em. However, I did stay away from crap ones 😉

When I first started using them I found you had to clean the hell out of 'em. I just had far more leaks than with solder ring. In the end, you kind of build up this 'thing' in your head that convinces you you're better off elsewhere. The human mind is a very powerful tool - just not in my hands 🙄

Having a continual flow of 'low cost' by proper Yorkshire fittings never influenced me one iota 😉
