What is the minimum distance between Speedfit connectors?

I need to fit a valve into my sink feed and space is tight. Just enough to get a tool in to release them later. Thanks.

Get a bit of spare pipe and see for yourself, they get difficult to dismount the closer they are together. They can be almost touching but not advised. If you're using push fit change the pipe run, maybe use a flexi?

Yes thanks, I did not have enough spare to experiment but settled for the 1.5cm. I also found I could reuse an elbow even though I had to drag a corroded copper pipe from it - impressed!

Not worth it for a quid or 2 fitting

Bit more than a quid though. If there are four to change could save me twelve quid! Reuse, Reuse, Reuse is my aim. Dont know if you can recycle these connectors. Probably not!

But if you get a leak no problem.
If we get a leak at a later date from reused fitting complaints aggravation loss of reputation and probably a bill for repairs.

Unless its a genuine "Miss Popoff" which happens while youre on holiday.
