I had to replace a 8 m old water pipe 1'' (was made from galvanized steel and started to rust from inside), so I decided to use some 2 pipes of 4m pp 1''1/4'' (40mm) made of pp and I used to join them:
1 compression fitting pp 1''1/4'' x 1''1/4''
2 compression fitting pp fe 1''1/4' x 1''1/4'
both my elbows ends where I join my pipe are 1'' so I used some reductions!
(you will see them in the pictures)
Now, I'm quite sure that all the compression fittings were mounted and sealed like in the instructions, but the problem is that my pipe can't hold the water pressure on the fittings, when I start the water, my pipe start to bend sightly and the water start to leak on the fittings and after short my pipe just bounce out from fitting ( i also try'ed to hold the pipes straight and turn the pressure max low from the valve, no success).
What I'm doing wrong ? And what pipes/fittings should I use? Here are the pictures to have a better idea:
Thank you!
