Using Compression Joints for DIY Plumbing: A Beginner's Guide

Compression Plumbing Fittings

As those of you who have been on our Essential Home Plumbing Course will know, Compression fittings can be a joy to use

They are great for DIY plumbing. We thought it would help to make a quick video to remind you of a couple of important tips when using the fittings.

If you still feel a bit wary about using them, or would like a bit more practice, why not sign up for one of our DIY Plumbing Courses, or check out our DIY Assist Service (we come to your home and support you with your DIY projects)
