Has the 'plastic ch pipe not within 1m of the boiler' changed?
If 'no'- have a look at October's HPM p62.

The feed goes to hep quite close and the return is almost on the tapping!
Plus the h & c have been made onto in compression that 'appear' now to be rather hard to get to with a spanner.
I realise why we don't win jobs on price!

i thought it would of been longer than 1m not shorter
I understood that it had to be copper for the first meter. I'm asking if I've missed something/got it wrong having seen the 'example' in HPM.
And I've just noticed the balofix on the way out to the hot taps!
Not all boiler manufacturers ask for copper to be used on the heating circuit with a minimum distance of the boiler.
As far as I know there is no general requirement apart from good practice and its up to each manufacturer to say what they require.

The pipe manufacturer's (certainly JG) say you mustn't unless the MI's specify that you can. I'll have a look at Baxi, but if you haven't seen the pic Tony try and find a copy. Bet you're not impressed.
Well I'll eat my hat and some humble pie too!
Quote from the Hep Guide-
'Where boilers incorporate a high limit cut out thermostat, pump overrun device, and have connections outside the boiler casing 350mm from the heat source, direct connection can be made to Hep2O®. Typically these boilers contain a copper heat exchanger and are low water content boilers'.
And another quote that I'll heed in future, 'Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups!" Not all plastics have the same guidelines.
