I use Hep2o for all my concealed pipework. Generally chrome for anything exposed

just started using that as opposed to john guest..cheaper and like the little tool to get fittings off in tight spaces if needed..

 

[Bubblecraft]

I prefer them to speed fit. No tightening required. The keys for removal are great though sometimes the inserts get caught in the fitting. No often I need to take them apart.

How you working out that plastic is cheaper than copper?
My local merchant have copper at £1.60 pm plastic is about 50p cheaper. But a copper elbow is about 9p compared to a speedfit at over a quid!

There are hidden costs with soldering (copper) plumbing. Solder, flux, wire wool or pads and gas all add up the cost. I prefer to solder, but using speedfit & floplast more often now.

22mm speedfit is 1/2 price of 22mm copper

Mmm coz plumbing is really difficult these days....

Nope, but the mess plastic pipe fittings like Speedfit make when they fail is reassuringly expensive to fix 🙂 Not that the manufacturers will tell that! Been to too many houses to see major flooding where one of those plastic fittings failed when the customer was out at work. The result? Mains pressure water spewing out into the house all day long. Not houses I have plumbed I might add as I hate the stuff. Copper all the way for me, at least when it gives up it's just a small drip. Never met a rodent yet that could chew through copper either.

Fill with a good peaty topsoil, and you will get a good late season crop of lettuce and tomato's grown in that. Can't beat good homegrown organic veg.
