As shaun says press fittings. Suitable providing fitting is marked for gas, they do up to 108mm for xpress gas.

Upto 35. I mean ive never needed one before, but being a tool geek - i have had situations where that would have been ideal, i do have a set of electric tongs for soldering in brand new expensive kitchen cupboards etc where there is too much of a chance of scorching the expensive units..

I was thinking along the same lines but don't know which is best for price, fittings prices and press quality for the money.
