Also, Screwfix stock a plastic pipe system by FloPlast (Flo-Fit) at a

Check the temperature and pressure ratings. The pressure rating drops
dramatically as the temperature rises.

Is that likely to be a problem with any of the plastic plumbing systems
though and even a pressurised system is only run at 1 bar or so. Hep2O
and Speedfit are fine.

I've no experience with flopast, it looks similar to Speedfit, which is
fine. They have their own website if yoiu want more info.

Plastic also needs to be well
supported if you aren't going to get excessive sagging, over time,
between supports.


True, and I'd not use it in visible areas where appearance mattered. but
it's easy to install and I find it useful when working in awkward areas
