Dale: thanks - not a name I know over here. when i have used it for a heating system, for going through 90 degree turns under the floor, i have taken it through 270 degrees so that when it heats and cools no tension is put on the straight runs.
the push fit fittings which we have over here are superb and can be used for push-fit plastic to copper. heating systems are changing now more toward under floor heating rather than water systems.
