Protecting speedfit pipes burried in a wall

Kellez

I am chasing the walls to hide radiator pipes and i am using 10mm layflat speedfit pipe. I want to keep the depth of chasing to a minimum to make the job easier therefore i was wondering what is the best way to protect to the pipes so that they are not in direct contact with the plaster and heep the required depth to a minimum??

which option do you suggest?

1) Use Pipe conduit over the pipe? these increases the depth required a lot.

2) use expanding foam to cover the pipes and then level the foam and plaster over it.

3) fill the chasing with bonding plaster or cement or any other material and make the wall flash then plaster over it.

Option 2

Are you talking about plastering straight over the foam?

No boarding of the wall?

If so won't it expand at a differnt rate to the wall and crack?

I have used speed fit type connections and I would not use them anywhere enclosed and inaccessible. I think you would be better off getting the pipes soldered which would also take up less space. I don't think they are a good choice where you intend using them.
