    No guys! We don't eat Kinko nuts and olives with a glass of beer. It's a compression fitting, (see image)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Does the As 3500 allow the use of compression fittings under the ground ]
    I can't quote Aussie code but you can't use compression fittings under a slab or ground. Check with your local Building Department. Good luck, Tom

    Cheers, thanks Tom, I appreciate your answer. You are obviously a plumber who has common sense. I think it safe to say that if not legal in Fl it won't be NSW either. Thank you!
