Is this suitable to connect on plastic piping?

Compression fittings on plastic pipe Interestingly you can join copper and plastic with a lot of the same fittings; a lot of people don’t realise you can join a bit of plastic pipe with a compression fitting. A compression fitting works in the same way on a plastic pipe as it does on a copper pipe except that you need to put in a liner, which is there to keep the end of the pipe perfectly round. It is also there to protect the end of the pipe – when you put a push-fit fitting in there’s an O ring in there and if you don’t have the liner on, the square edge on the end of the plastic can damage the O ring and cause a leak. You might not know about it straight away but six months or even six years down the line it might develop a leak and if this causes any damage and an inspection shows the plumber neglected to put in a liner the plumber could be liable. Once you’ve inserted the liner the nut goes over the end of the pipe followed by the copper olive and then the fitting itself. Hand tighten this and then tighten with a spanner until it’s crimped on so that the olive compresses onto the pipe. That makes a secure fitting but just for belt and braces you can take the fitting off and wrap PTFE tape around the olive – using this approach I have never had a problem.

Hi! Could anyone please tell me what the length of the coupler is? Thanks!

Not sure as ive used all mine up. If you work on 40mm that should be enough. I just chiseled out plenty of wall to allow enough to fit and tighten. Also i used 15 turns of ptfe and joint compound to fit them to my concealed shower unit as these fittings can leak if not super tight fit.
