    Wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them, especially if being used indoors.

    I have found that if they are labelled up as 1/2 inch and the pipe is 13mm then it can cause problems.

    These are rubbish. There is a good reason why this cack isn't sold at trade counters.

    I've never had a problem with them.
    However they are single use, and you do have to put in the correct insert depending on the pipe.

    The woodies own-brand/whatever it is stuff is terrible quality and should be avoided at all costs*.
    OP you can use regular compression fitting with qualpex, just get inserts. There's plenty of videos on youtube that'll show you how in no time.



    *speaking of costs, it's mad expensive too. and yeah, check what the other poster said re: sizing - I don't think they're as bad as they were but woodies used to mostly sell uk sizes which might not be that obvious if you're not used to it.
