I am going to add some new radiators to my partially central-heated
house and am seriously considering using plasticbarrier pipe.
I am confused as to which is better PE-X or PB as there is a
considerable price difference between the two.
I don't wish to start a shouting match between posters (as often seems
to happen when opinions are asked for) but I would like some practical
advice.
Cheers,
Ken

I thought that Hep2o came in 2 versions - only one of which is barrier - so
you need to get the right variety.

JG Speedfit pipe, on the other hand, *only* comes as a barrier pipe.

True, but IME it's normally the barrier pipe that is sold by default.

however, evidence is it seems that this is much overated, and the real
ingress of oxygen across non-barrier pipe is low.
