I'm a fan of jet lube (or the much hated - boss green) on all copper pipe to brass compression fittings. However, should jointing compound be used around a copper olive on plastic (i.e. speedfit) to brass compression fittings (e.g. plastic running into concealed shower valves, wall elbows, etc)?
I've always applied a smidgen, but do wonder whether the compound could react with the the plastic? Or whether it's doing more bad than good?
