    I just did a bathroom project and used JG Speedfit all the way, it was so simple and very effective. Saved me a fortune on plumbers bills. Even cut it with a hacksaw (don't shout at me!!) and it was trouble free once the burrs were removed with a sharp knife.

    Great video mate, perfect explanations throughout 👌
    I do have a question for you please. If I use a push fit on a copper pipe, ideally how much copper should be present for the push fit to connect comfortably? I have a slow leak on the main pipe to my toilet and the compression fitting is stuck (olive is gripped hard and I don't have space to cut it at an angle to get it off 😭) so I was considering to cut the main pipe shorter so I can just remove the compression fitting but the copper isn't that long so I'm not sure if it would be best to cut and extend with the plastic pipe as you've shown. PS - the leak is behind the isolation screw, so the slow leak is consistently dripping and it's not the nut being loose as I've given it another tighten, no luck though. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Very good vid, thanks! But could you tell me if these fittings can be used on flexible plastic pipes? I have a plastic pipe feeding my toilet and the only way of isolating the water when working on it is by the main stop valve. Could I use speed fittings on flexible pipe so I can fit an isolation valve? Thanks in advance!

    So what is the minimum distance between two Speedfit connectors (obviously to allow later removal)? Say and elbow and a valve feeding my sink. I am refitting for the valve and I want the current flex pipe to be in the same position. It would be useful actually to know the minimum length of Speedfit pipe needed as an alternative way of looking at it. Thanks.

    Any guidance on if I can tee off of from a tee? Trying to avoid the more expensive 3 way manifolds which seems excessive.
    I'm splitting the cold supply to a sink to a washing machine/and two taps.
