Hi

Can anyone help me please :confused:

We are running GCH from our house to an outer room which is being used as an office (about 3m away)-this is the cheapest option! Need to buy 15mm plastic flexi (i think!) piping to run out there as copper/metal wont be any good.

OH said you can only buy in 50m lengths-so I need to find the cheapest place-can anyone help me please?? Have looked on screwfix but cant find any, unless im looking in wrong place :p

Many Thanks

    PlumbCenter sell it in 3m & 6m lengths too - as do many other plumbers' merchants... I have a 6m length of hep2O in the garage actually (which I use for pulling cables through walls) - was about a fiver.

    Using the BES site go to:

    Pipe & fittings > Plastic Pipe

    Or

    Pipe & fittings > Speedfit > Pipe & fittings

    HTH.

    the plasiflex pipes your after have the blue ring on the end and take power fixings, they are quite expensive but easier to fit then the standard copper pipes, most builders and plumping centres sell it, 3m and 6m lengths.

    When you're in the plumbers' merchants - talk to the staff - they're usually very happy to help you out and decide what is exactly right for you. I've had most of my best plumbing tips in the queue or in the car park of plumbers merchants (not to mention a free set of pipe benders and several tube cutters lol)
