Pipe coupler issue - connecting two male fittings

[ShaunCorbs]

the squeak is how you know there correctly tighten

i normally use wras approved jointing compound which helps stop the fitting squeak

you will soon find how much to tighten compression fittings just takes some practice

Well, rather than using an offcut to connect two fittings closely together, lets say for instance a PRV and an inlet strainer upstream of it, would a female to female equal bush still be sufficient?

Definitely true what they say you learn something new everyday (awesome to learn about those two male edges)

I would use a female threaded prv and line strainer

In a holiday home abroad where the water pressure is so high that it's ruining kitchen fittings etc. I've already bought my PRV and inlet strainer, but the thing is, due to cold winters, piping is all done in PPR so I want to avoid the use of copper. Sorry this thread has deviated slightly.

Thanks but hmm it's tricky for me to understand and visualise. Perhaps a link would help. But would my fittings be adequate?
