Just a word of warning about Pipestock. I bought 1.5km of 32mm from them last year, plus all the fittings, stop cocks etc. It turned out it wouldn’t fit through the mole plough I had access to, so I had to switch to 25mm (bought in a rush from a local supplier).

Pipestock refused to take the 32mm pipe and fittings back, even though it was unused and still in coils. They were very obstructive, so much so that I’ve decided I’d never deal with them again.

Pipestock for pipe, city irrigation have been cheaper for fittings although pipestock do nice valves cheaper.

I found that actually making a list and going to local suppliers the can use a very sharp pencil!

Even better that I could actually make sure the layout was spot on and i had all the fittings i needed.

I use plans on fittings. If you have connections you’re going to attach and take apart regularly (eg portable water troughs etc), use WRAS-approved fittings, not the non-WRAS approved.

The latter have several parts inside each connector / stop tap and can easily be lost. The WRAS-approved ones are solid with just a rubber O-ring
