    I'm wanting to add a garden tap from outside mains.

    Seems risky not welding the copper.

    Apparently need a tool to remove once you push it in?

    I've used them before, a lot of the stuff plumber use can be push fit.

    I've used them before and was nervous but didn't have any problem (touch wood) just make sure you prep the copper properly.

    You can remove using a shifter (apparently) but I've never done it.

    Thanks for posting this product.
    It does say on the pack for use with copper tube only.
    Is there a difference between copper tube and copper pipe.?
    I have copper pipe that has a small leak that needs to be fixed.
    Cheers
