you can use it but as Roger advised it looks terrible because it sags

I had to replace a whole line of pipes because it looked so bad and
saggy.

Although I didn't explicitly say so, I wouldn't use it anywhere where it
*shows* - but it's fine for threading through awkward places where getting a
straight run of copper in would be very difficult.

My comment about sagging was more to do with avoiding airlocks rather than
appearance. For a horizontal run under the floor, I would support it along
its full length on pieces of timber so that it *can't* sag.

So why bother faffing around with it then at all ?, Copper, all the way
unless there's somewhere awkward to thread it through. I had a nasty
offset bend to go through to get around some framing. That's the only
plastic in my house.

Oh, and 1 pushfit on copper. Left by a plumber. grr.
