Default Thermal expansion of shower waste pipe

Thanks, now I know it's possible I have had a look in City Plumbing and
they had the MacAlpine equivalent - looks like it will be fine. Has a
compression fiting each end so the issue of joining PVC to ABS is avoided
too.


Hi Joe,
I suggested the Heplex because I thought it was a significantly better
product than the standard corrugated wastes - which are thin walled and
corrugated inside and out - so inclined to collect sludge inside, and
possibly crisp up and crack over a long period . Like you, I was plumbing a
shower that I really didn't want to have to access for many years, as it
would require major surgery to wall and floor tiles. And, all of the
cheaper flexible wastes have a shortish length, meaning that there would be
another joint under the shower - and I liked the idea of the heplex coming
in lengths that would allow me to do the whole run in one flexible pipe.

However, as always with these things - the decision as to what suits you
best is yours.

Charles F
