Copper Push fit Connectors

[ParrDi Gras]

Im about to embark on repositioning some of my central heating 10mm pipework to enable connection to a Towel radiator. Her indoors wants the Pipework coming out of a stud wall in chrome (but thats another story) . The Current Pipework is situated under the floor in the bathroom but accessible through my garage ceiling. However room is tight and Im not overally confident I could solder the joints correctly in the short space I have wihout burning the house down. Therefore im considering using Copper pushfit , could anyone give me the pros & cons and any tips. Cheers in advance.

dont like push fit full stop if you cant solder use compression fittings

if your not putting down a fixed flooring system then as above, if you are use pushfit barrier pipe.
your chrome pipe will fit into all pushfit joints - SO LONG AS you file off the chrome plating that actually sits in the fitting!!

Just looking to use normal copper pipe with copper pushfit fittings. The chrome pipe which sticks out from the wall , connecting to me TRV, will be soldered to a 15mm elbow as I have easy access , ive already removed all the chrome by putting it on the lathe at work and wrapped abrasive paper round it till it all came off

copper pushfits are the same as other pushfits the seal is done by an o ring in the body and with the teeth in the copper pushfits you cannot remove them when the o ring fails
