Plumbing copper or plastic
Hi all
have a small amount of plumbing to do on same project as earlier question posted However I may be refitting the bathroom later (this is a modern wet room where plastic pipe has been used but son wants a bath fitting) I will be using at most 8 metres of 15 mm pipe a few elbows and the odd straight connector to replace the outside toilet and cold feed a utilty room for tap, washing machine and american style fridge with chilled water output all will be surface mounted and visible I can solder and usually use end feed fittings although have not needed to do so for a few years As copper pipe is expensive at the moment should I move to plastic? I t will be easier and the pipe cheaper but the pipe costs would be offset by the cost of the fittings...... except that I do not need bags of 25 end feed fittings so the offset cost is not what it might be what do the team think? regards Tony |
