I think this might be the one @Matchless.plumb? You see how it has yellow seals and a painted yellow mark on the fitting? FYI

Mapress have you heard about viega
Yes mate and they look nothing like that.
How come they don’t look the same ?
I suspect no gas rating but I hope I’m wrong

Really, you think my fittings are mapress? I'll proof you wrong
I’m saying that they look like mapress. I didn’t say they were 100%
Ron, honestly mate there is no need to be so defensive, people are only trying to help each other on here if there is a chance that you’ve fitted a water fitting on the gas by mistake would you rather not know ?? Would you not be better off calling the customer and saying you think you’ve left a tool behind or something and just checking, surely its better to do that than carry on blindly. Nobody is trying to catch anyone out or make anyone look silly I think I speak for everyone on here that nobody wants to see one of our regular contributors get stung by Gas Safe for something so silly

Yes of course, but there is also no need to put always people's work down is there. I'm not being awkward but I know what i am using for materials. However, I guess we should leave it again. No point of bombarding each other with nonsense.
Yes mate. That is a box of viega fittings. I agree. But that isn’t the Tee that you have fitted on the gas run and them tees have a black seal
Inside which means the packaging will have a green dot on and not yellow.

You clearly said that my fittings dont look like viega and all I did was uploading a picture of some sealed fittings. Is pointless to talk as you all stick together so I better be quiet.
No I didn’t! For the second time. I’m going to post this picture, which you seem to be ignoring on purpose. This is the fitting we are on about not the copper fittings.

It was marked but when you polish pipes and fittings you rub the yellow and green stamps off especially when using brasso.
I am! it doesn’t look like a viega gas tee. This is a viega gas tee. It has yellow dots and says viega on it.

To be really precise even if you used water fittings it would be physically better than a solder fitting. First of all the temperature difference is unique.. the solder will start melting about 185c but the o ring can withstand higher temperature as they are high efficiency o rings same as for gas 630c for 30min your solder is in seconds gone and will cause problems. Furthermore the fittings can withstand higher pressure than soldered joints. 15 -100bar ... let me check 10 properties in UK with 50 bat and I will show you how good your soldering is you cannot beat technology
All irrelevant information again Ron. And why polish something that is already shiny?

I'm debating too and you are wrong. You never dealt with viega fittings but telling me my fittings look like mapress. Common harvest you know you are wrong and that's the bitter truth.
3 different types of fittings
Left to right
Express, mapress and viega
As you can see the green dots disappear over time
Furthermore look how poor Express stamps are hardly visible and once you start polishing it will disappear easily

You dont have to polish do whatever you want you can keep your pipes full of flux and solder it ain't bother me

It's all relevant when it comes to incidents ... but keep talking g about a stamp ... if something goes wrong no one will ask about a stamp but about the right material used!!!
Everything you say about me is true mate. But the difference between me and you is that I would rather listen to people’s advice and learn from my mistakes. But not you, you deviate and try to confuse people with facts that actually have no relevance to the conversation, and yet again you keep posting a picture of a copper tee and not the brass one that you have used in the gas line as a test point which is the one we are all on about. Ignore it all you want mate. I have decided to email viega to get pictures of all of their brass tee’s and have also decided to email them a picture of the one that you have used. If I am wrong I will happily let you know and apologise.
