Aarrgh - need a break - I'm plumbing a new kitchen.

Lots of people say how good the plastic pipe is, and it is used on a
lot of newbuild, so I thought I'd try it.
But I hate it. It curls up on itself, you can't put a bend in it,
the joints are huge,

What joints?
If you use plastic you don't need many joints.
On a new build you would put in a manifold and run a pipe to each
outlet with no joints at all.

You can do that with copper using microbore.

I wouldn't run mains water through 10 m of microbore if I were you.
I certainly wouldn't run gravity fed hot water through 10 m of micro.

That depends on if you are in a hard water area or not.


No it depends on if you want some water to flow at the far end.
