using braided hose behind studwork
 

Can anyone advise please? Is it acceptable to use braided hose behind
a stud wall?

I'm fitting a concealed citern loo and the final plumbing connection
currently uses a braided flexible hose with a tap connector on one
end.

A hose like this:

Once the studding wall is built there will be no access to this hose.
Is this considered OK or should I be using copper for this connection?

thanks,

Robert

Surely you have a removal panel for the loo cistern? Can't you make
the panel a bit bigger to get access to the flexi? Or extend the fixed
pipework and have a shorter flexi to the cistern - that is accessible?

the loo has a removable panel concealed behind the flush buttons.
It's the Grohe system - all the loo bits lift out through this hole
(about 8" by 4") but the pipe in question is not accessible this way.

I feel it 'ought' to be copper.
