The message
from "Doctor Evil" contains these words: 100 litres is the average bath sonny boy. Get used to it. Hey, progress for once. Only last week DrivEl was still rabbitting on about a 80 - 100 litre range and calling it an average. He is still wrong of course but at least he now accepts that a range is not an average, but sadly not that the average of that particular range is not 100 but 90l and the real average or baths perhaps twice that figure. -- Roger |

That thread also included this classic quote from Adam: Just a point. Underfloor heating does not use Polybuyelene pipe, as Hep2o is. It uses santoprene and PEX. which prompted the reply from Hepworth Plumbing: Just to clarify, Polybutylene is very widely used for underfloor heating applications, and for comfort cooling (chilled beams).

I know a site that is being fitted out in Hep2O and the fitters do not like it. They test it to far higher test pressure than Hep state, because of the problems they were getting. They have a very high failure rate on first fix. When they do soldered copper they have it right first time every time, so no going back to replace fittings and more testing and more time, and more money. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |

The thing is, when told he still was insisting that anying over 100% was wong, and made himself out to be what he is. It is a matter of fact that efficiency cannot exceed 100%. It is also a matter of fact that the dishonest and devious have deliberately adopted a stratagem in which their claimed efficiency can exceed 100% but it doesn't really. Unlike DrivEl however the perpetrators of this statagem know full well that the calculation they use to establish an efficiency of over 100% is essentially bogus being of the form (useful heat out)/(only some of the heat in) but that is way over dIMMs head. In fact anything that actually involves calculation is way over John B Curtis' head. -- Roger |

Anyone who uses that is a fool, it wasn't initially designed for underfloor heating, only Hot & Cold plumbing. PEX is the best by far. Oh deare. I have about 500 meters of it under my flor, and its worked falutlesy for three years, and showed no problems at 10 bar tested. Irts hard to see how you CAN have a problem with a conbtinuous length of pipe laid under a floor really. UFH temeperatures are less than hot water. Pressure is no greater than mains system anyway. So what is it about UFH that makes this pipe so unsuitable, and yet used by manufacturers worldwide? I know a site that is being fitted out in Hep2O and the fitters do not like it. They test it to far higher test pressure than Hep state, because of the problems they were getting. They have a very high failure rate on first fix. When they do soldered copper they have it right first time every time, so no going back to replace fittings and more testing and more time, and more money. Fittmngs are a different matter, and have nothing to do with the pipe, and a lot to do with e.g. using a hacksaw to cut the pipe. As you recommended I believe. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |
