Plumbing speedfit fittings

Is there any reason why I can't use speedfit fittings in my equipment set up?

My local plumbers merchant said they will be o.k.

I know they're designed for use in hot and cold water supplies but thought I'd ask our experts anyway j.i.c

as in the ones intended for bars or household plumbing? Both should be fine. I just nabbed so many free JG fittings from work, they gutted all 3 bars and were throwing away everything

they are officially one of the best inventions ever

Should be OK, just don't use 'em with hot liquor/wort and unreinforced PVC tubing like someone on here did!

John Guest fittings are fine....just make sure the tubing you use to connect them are food grade

Cheers guys

The plumbers stuff I've got is the standard stuff from Wickes. It's rated to
92 deg c at 3 bar and I wont even get close to that pressure.

I assume it's food grade as it's designed for drinking supplies.

It's 'class s, p-ex' whatever that means.

Any comments

This is why I'm asking.....a sneak preview

From JG website

Chlorine. Speedfit is not suitable for use in systems where the water containing high levels of chlorine. e.g. swimming pools, fountains etc.

Iodophor it is then
