hi, so we had tried to fit an isolation valve into copper pipe that came close from the mains supply, but i'm not proud of it. we had to leave the mains water valve at half pressure or else the fittings would leak/pop off.
It was my first attempt at plumbing and i assumed i could easily move the pipe into the fittings, however the pipes didn't budge and so couldn't properly secure the fittings.
I looked into pex piping and thought it would be possible to use speedfit pipe and fittings, because the pipe is flexible. (i mentioned john guest because it doesnt need crimper tools)
I thought i'd ask you guys for advice, before i do something that might not work. Sorry if it looks like a mess
