Hi

I'm going to be using quite a bit of (22mm and 15mm) plastic barrier pipe
for central heating and wondered if anyone can advise on the following.

Q1. I used a coil of Speedfit a few years ago and it was a bu**er to work
with because it was so springy and wanted to return to its coiled shape.
Are coils of other makes any better in this respect (I have Hep2O and
Equator in mind)?

Not really. Warming it can help a little but a better solution is just
to buy straight 3 or 6m lengths.

The JG speedfit is in my experence the most springy. I have never used
Equador. I have used Hep 2O and PolyPlumb. They both seem easier to use than
JG. I have no preference over either of these, but as the same person
designed both Hep and Poly they are probably the same thing in all but name
and patent numbers.




Finally, it is advised to use a proper tube cutter and not a hacksaw for
cutting the tube in order to retain system continence and your reputation.

The JG Speedfit pipe cutter is the best I have used on any plastic pipe.
