Ian...I thought that Kunifer was copper/Nickol?
The slightly cheaper all copper is more maluable than the copper/nickol kunifer but there in lies the problem, copper is perhaps to soft, as for
for longevity I think whichever you use will be the one and only time you will be doing the job, both last a very long time.
Just make

Isn't it a Ku Copper Ni Nickel Fer Iron alloy ?

I just bought the stuff, helped the fitter make them up and fitted them.

sorry to pester guys, but any idea on how many fittings i should buy?? based from the wiki link that Ian sent me last night...

[Ian Hulley]

Start with 10 of each of the male and female nuts (they're only pence) and once you're underway you'll see how many parts you need to replace and how many are saveable/re-usable ... although I'd replace the lot and be done with it once and for all.

You will only use male connections unless you intend to join any pipes mid length (not recommended) so two males connections per pipe section that you intend to replace.
