using braided hose behind studwork
Can anyone advise please? Is it acceptable to use braided hose behind
a stud wall? I'm fitting a concealed citern loo and the final plumbing connection currently uses a braided flexible hose with a tap connector on one end. A hose like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/flexible-t...-x-900mm/96597 Once the studding wall is built there will be no access to this hose. Is this considered OK or should I be using copper for this connection? thanks, Robert |

Can't you make the panel a bit bigger to get access to the flexi? Or extend the fixed pipework and have a shorter flexi to the cistern - that is accessible? |

Or extend the fixed pipework and have a shorter flexi to the cistern - that is accessible?- the loo has a removable panel concealed behind the flush buttons. It's the Grohe system - all the loo bits lift out through this hole (about 8" by 4") but the pipe in question is not accessible this way. I feel it 'ought' to be copper. Robert |
