    Crimp pipe fittings

    Not had a good experience with them . Over time they can leak at the seal . They were ok or not so bad when hot . It's not always possible to get back on to recrimp . If you don't solder you would be better using compression fittings.

    Pto generator

    The 30 year old one will be fine for raw power giving heat and light but probably won't have auto voltage regulation which would be preferred for computers etc. If you but an engine driven try and get one that runs at 1500 rpm. Old British stand by sets are usually cheap for what they are...
