It’s a multi box form the main normally 2inch feed and can be from 4 upwards outlets used for the likes of apartments..I know over here in Northern Ireland that will b a t piece off a bigger main to feed that multbox and should reall be once piece from main to box.. to many possibilities of leaks.. is that off a saddle on the main? Can’t make it out? If it is that’s a big no no over here anything over inch isn’t allowed on a saddle has to be a t piece..

I think it's a multi service box as discussed but don't think there's any flats here must be for 4 of the houses. Imagine if there's ever a problem with those elbows digging that up! Also so much for 750mm those boxes don't even look that deep it's like the single telescopic ones very rarely see them in at 750...

I did wonder with all those joints .... a lot of potential for future grief .... and not very deep at all for water

I've had no problems with plasson asking as long as the pipe isn't scratched those philmacs though leak if they get featured from the position where they were tightened

Picked up some of the 3g multi pipe fittings, no inserts and slip coupler. Easy enough to use and have a couple in the van for any potential pipe issuesI agree with you on a lot of things. But I’m drawing a line at this!

Plasson is the way forward... IF you know what your doing. .
They rely on the O ring being a precision fit to the pipe... So if your a fan of squashing pipe or dragging it miles they won't be your friend.
But no spanners . If you have the chamfering tool no inserts (as you don't crush onto the pipe) and no problems
Philmacs are wank by comparison you need education James

Only good thing about philmac (and it's part of their problem) is they are a more compact fitting so if you're doing a repair or alteration and you haven't much space they can be easier to use. It's part the reason they leak of you disturb them or don't get the pipe inserted straight as they are a v shallow fitting. Always have a few philmac for tight spots but mostly plasson.
