    Hi all
    I'm getting a new heating system fitted.
    I would like to know whats the best push or compression fittings on PEX pipe with an insert .
    IV used both before for small jobs but would like to know whats the best option.

    IV done a search but they all seem to be very old threads
    Thanks

    Compression is more reliable than push fit

    Soldered on copper best then compression. Tectite push in can be handy for hard to reach places but the jury is still out on long term quality. I've seen videos of push in fittings leaking. I've never seen one fail firsthand but I'm still wary of them
