    This tutorial stands out for its clarity in focusing on what you need to know, rather than delving into unnecessary details or showcasing the plumber's expertise excessively, which is common in many other tutorials I've watched. It's refreshing to find one that's straightforward and to the point

    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.

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.
