pex

I recently had a leak from a pushfit elbow connecting two PEX pipes. This was professionally replaced to only wait until the ceiling was repatched and do exactly the same thing again. Can anyone recommend alternative fittings for connecting PEX pipe or should I consider a straight...

Going to a Turbomax on Friday, expected PEX issues, cutting on and off on HW. Prob around 12ish years old. If i'm stripping this out for a look, should it come out easy enough? And are the seals likely to leak once re-assembled? Just checking/pricing repair for letting agents. Don't want to end...

I have an underfloor circuit in 14mm pipe that comes out the floor and then turns 90deg and goes into a manifold. It was fine for about 6 months but looks like there has been some movement in the pipe and it now goes into the manifold at a funny angle which caused it to develop a small leak...
