Once on a job about 30 years ago. Boiler was in the back porch next to kitchen and gas pipe came in through the wall. Someone (think it was the guy) had put a compression T on and run a hose across the porch and clipped it around the kitchen skirting board with fencing staples to the cooker. Quality work

Endfeed mainly, but I use our full arsenal of weapons!!

I bought a pack of 10 'Yorshire' elbows today for £3 from Screwfix as they were on a special cheap deal. I'll save them for verticle joints where I don't want to see any runs down the pipe.

Its all there for us to use, why limit yourself to anything? Least favorite is compression oddly. They're always first to burst in cold weather, and when working on pipework down the line you can easily disturb a compression joint, and finally they're expensive. Still used two today on some water logged pipe as I didn't want to go down to the van to get the wet vac...and lets face it, comp joints are rated higher than anything. You can't use standard soldered joints on solar thermal!

Are you sure they are actually stainless? Most items are chrome plated and you need to be careful what you use or they will soon get scratched?

One of my customers told me about a product called Lime Lite available from most supermarkets which I have tried and can actually say it does work.
