flexible pipes buried in wall
Hi
I am looking at fitting a semi-pedestal basin on an external wall of an en-suite- it would make life much easier if I could use the braided nylon type connectors chased into the plaster/blockwork and connected below floorboards. Is there any reason why not? TIA --- MikeR |

Is there any reason why not? What is their guaranteed life? How long do you plan staying in the house? TIA --- MikeR -- Bill |

Is there any reason why not? Because it's rough. -- Stuart @ SJW Electrical Please Reply to group |

Is there any reason why not? why not just bury normal pipe and have the elbows coming out of the wall ? Regards Jeff |

Is there any reason why not? Do they come in a length long enough to go from the tap to under the floor? If I was short on entirely proper tools I'd tend to use the soft-copper-with-bendy-bits lengths to achieve this, along with Yorkshire joints to get the main length in the wall. IanC |

IanC Yes, the existing basin is supplied via these flexible connectors approx 900mm long that I was hoping to retain, but have now decided to replace with copper as suggested. Thanks to all for replies. Regards --- Mike R |
