Source for length of microbore pipe?
 

I need 13m of 10mm copper microbore pipe for a job; 47 squids from
Screwfix for 25m isn't very attractive as I'm unlikely to need the rest
any time soon. Any suggestions as to where I can get shorter lengths at
a decent price? (I'm assuming that plumper's merchants won't sell the
stuff by the metre?)

Thanks
David

I think the last coil I bought came from www.bes.co.uk

Unless you can find some shorter bits on Ebay I think it'll be a coil
of nothing

================================================

If there's any way to adjust downwards your required length Wickes sell a
10 metre length 10mm x 10m at £23.98. Can you start or end your run with
15mm?

I've just looked at the BES prices ....I don't recall it being so
expensive ...£43.20 + Vat...when I bought it but I have checked my
account and it was so Screwfix might be cheaper altho' I bought the
coated stuff . They do sell some short lengths but not in 10mm
unfortunately .

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Lobster
saying something like:

I didn't know you could get plumpers at a merchant, but some will be
glad of that.

Seriously, you can easily buy it by the metre at any decent suppliers,
especially these days.

My local central heating spares shop sell it by the yard. I would expect
most to.

Just bought a 1 mtr length from my local plumbers merchant (not one of
the big ones). He just cut it off a coil, cost was about thirty bob.
He did mention though that he doesn't sell much 10mm these days and
because it's going out of fashion it's getting harder to get hold of.
