Fantastic, thanks That seals it for me, copper all the way. It was my initial choice, but the lure of a quick first fix got me thinking about plastic. Thanks again.

Hi guys, Me again. Has anyone, any opinions on using HEP2 rather than copper for the domestic hot and cold in a new build. I appreciate the benefits of speed and flexibility of HEP2 but is it robust enough and will it pass the test of time?

Excellent point, I didn't even give the inside a thought, who knows what's crawlled in there, eeuugghh !!! I presume then that a good wipe and a coat of flux would suffice for jointing. Thanks

Hey guys, Does anyone know firstly, if it's possible to use old pipe that has been lying around outside for sometime. It's unused and undamaged, but just a lot duller than new pipe. Secondly, what is the best method for cleaning the ends before soldering.

Hey folks, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to connect a wind turbine (3kW) directly to an immersion heater. If so what measures must I incorporate, I presume I'll need an inverter of somesort. I should let you know that i'm an enthusiastic amateur.
