I would have to pay to get them WRAS approved, which is not cheap.



PLA is used for food so it should be fine.
As is PETG.
I know ABS is used for drains and such but I don't know where its used
on supply pipes, they are usually polyethylene of some sort.
You can also print HIPS which should be safe.
My £200 printer will do all those and nylon, etc.

Maybe for your use you need a sintering printer using nylon powder. They
are only a few grand. 8-(

If the parts you make are fairly simple you could get a mill and make
them from aluminium billets. Small NC mills are as cheap as 3d printers.
