You mention doing it in push fit.. At least the First meter on flow and return from boiler must be in copper and not plastic.

Not strictly true, but I agree with you on the principle that it looks better, and is just generally better practice if you are just doing pushfit.
I do like using it, but by god its ugly as a material. Nothing beats perfectly plumb, level, neatly soldered pipes...

No, it says Mineral wool, which is 0.2

Still losing me dan its the boiler mnaufacturers web site you shoud be looking at not the plastic`s one.
Fair point, Hep do say that it needs to be a copper low water content heat exchanger with over heat stat. This stipulation is basically for combi-swap landlord specialists I presume.
So in this case you need the metre - which is not that hard to achieve, and plastic does look rubbish unless you are extremely careful.

Old school. In 28 years i have only ever fitted 3 metres of it,, worked on it enough but wont fit it..
I love copper, but there are times when time is not on your side.
Plastic does have its place; and it can don things that copper simply can't.
I have never understood why non-barrier is still available though

And how many people who don`t know what barrier /non barrier is for... off back out to the pub Dan just had a dig at bamber on another topic, he will be ranting.
Is that one still rumbling!
Non-barrier should have never been allowed to market IMHO, it (quite rightly) tarnished the reputation of plastic pipe.
