I know ideally we'd all use nothing but high quality materials and fittings but the cost would mean you'd either lose some jobs or get them but not make as much as you'd want.
Maybe some of you are busy and established enough that you use no cheap stuff at all? That'd be great.
But for those of you who mix and match - what will you only buy quality makes for and what will you settle for cheap stuff for?
I think I might have to switch to only using MacAlpine waste stuff. Installed some unbranded traps from s crewfix the other day and they just leaked from everywhere it was possible to leak from.
I buy lowest common demoninator cheap compression that seems to work ok for me. Took getting used to but once you know how to work with it it's ok.
