I have a combi heating system and would like to alter one or two pipe runs myself.The system at present is all in 15mm copper pipe,could I use plastic in place of the copper pipe for the runs I want to alter.

Thanks for the replys lads.Apart from the cost why do plumbers still use copper the plastic and fittings are a lot easier to use but will there be a payback time when the joints start to fail.

Water damage can be very costly for a plumber.

I have more confidence in properly soldered joints
