hey guys, i have existing copper pipework under the bath and am looking to tap into this and set up pipework for a shower. what are the big advantages over copper? it looks like plastic could be more flexible, but are they equally as reliable? and are there any issues tapping into copper...

ok thanks will read a little into it

thanks for the advice Hugh, that will be my course of action. and good to know abou the 22mm pipework, otherwise i would always have nagging thought in back of my head about why this was the case!

hey guys, so i'm having issue with my central heating. it's kind of a long story but here's the gist of it. (a note on the diagram, the radiators in red have issues, i am not sure of the pipework from the top floor to bottom so i've labelled them as ?) hallway radiator stopped working, had...
