Which do you like best and why  For me I still use copper as much as I can but when I need push fit I always carry JG and the reasons why its priced really well, you can dismount with out the need of a tool and last of all is very reliable. stamp |

I agree, JG is my pick, hep20 are good but bulky and like PB says you nned that tool and its awkward to use in a tight corner,  |

If you use the JG ones you always have to double check that you've locked them into place (very easy to forget). I don't use them very often though although I do
use a lot of the JG push fit tap flexies (they always make me nervous when they shoot forward that 1/4" when you turn the water on)!
Tappy,

I think hep20 has a 50 yr life time as the others are 25yr, not that it means fuck all to be honest.

anyone use polypipe stuff, its a bit cheaper but i steer clear, i've heard some bad stories from others, One guy I know did a bathroom refit with it, he got a bad leak 6 months later and the tiled floor had to come up, he won the case against polypipe and they paid for the work,  |
