Hi all,

I'm looking to install a bathroom suite and I'm browsing the tool station catalogue. There are various abbreviations used before the types of copper fittings, E/F, S/R, W/P and CP. What do these mean? For example whats the difference between a E/F and S/R straight coupler (other than the price!)
