Copper pipes and concrete

stenning

thanks, does anyone know which products to specifically buy to cover these point, ideally links to screwfix would be appreciated:

Methods used to protect copper pipes:

1 A plastic sheath set into the floor with cement mortar. No joints should be located in the sleeve.

2 Burying - Pipes which have been protected laid on top of base concrete and covered by a screed. Pipes up to 28mm may be buried and a minimum cover of 20mm must be applied. When pipes are to be buried in magnesium-oxy-chloride cement or magnesite flooring copper is the only material recommended (BS6891) and must be factory plastic coated.

3 Use of preformed ducts.

4 Use of a protective covering at least 5mm thick (BS 6891).


Thanks again!

The whole hep2o site is very useful.

hi

can the Hep2O® Conduit system be installed if the pipes are already in place?

IE can it be installed without having to remove or cut pipes, just put over the pipes?

thanks
