    Why different forces are needed for 110 mm soil pipe fittings?

    End feed fittings being awkward.

    Am sure is not me as I have done end feed fittings before with no problem. What I am experiencing is that after cleaning up the fitting and the pipe they slip into each other fine but after I apply flux they do not. If I try to turn the fitting on the pipe a lot of the time it is very hard...

    XPress fittings, pros and cons. Opinions please.

    Hi, looking at getting into press fit fittings as I like the speed that they can be installed on copper, and without a flame, or a big ugly plastic or compression fitting.

    HBP Fittings - demountable?

    I'm pretty sure I know the answer but these are not demountable are they? It think it's going to be a drain down and fit compression. She's left it that long it's wrecked the floor under the lino.
