Talking of plumbing.....
Plastic pushfit plumbing is becoming more and more common and for good reason. It's quick and easy to fit, the pipes can be easily bent around corners, it can be added to existing copper systems, and you don't need any arcane skills worthy of a alchemist to put it together.
As a relatively new technology however I wonder how long these systems will remain watertight, as most rely on rubber O rings to make the seal and as current and ex Omega owners we all know how O rings fail.
Most manufacturers say their products are guaranteed for 20 years. Good luck with that in 19 years if you have a catastrophic leak then, especially if you DIY'ed!
Given the breadth and depth of OOF knowledge, I'm wondering what the general opinion of plastic plumbing is?
I know one thing. If I buy a house in the future, I'll want to know if it has plastic plumbing and if so when it was fitted. As when you think about it 20 years is a relatively short time in the life of a house and there are plenty of places around the country still using plumbing that would be getting on for a century!
