Copper

Ideally yes, but the 1st floor covering is glued down and I would have to thread it through in small sections with loads of joints so easier to use plastic due to its flexibility, I'm guessing?

Hep2o

Thanks. I get the impression that the joints are more secure with Hep2o. Would you agree?

Tbh I’m in the process of converting a 4 bed house to a 7 bed hmo with on suites so adding another 5 bathrooms to property. Had to upgrades both hot and cold pipes to 22mm and went with jg speedfit running to each bathroom
In 22mm then stepped down to 15mm being all pipeeork out where required in copper. Not overly happy with it but some of the runs would of been impossible to do in copper

Most of the leading brands are ok but for me Hep2o has been around the longest and has evolved into a very good system.
The fact it has a 50 year warranty, and is specified by most of the major developers, Taylor Wimpey, Redrow, Bellway, Persimmon etc speaks for itself.

David, Wow and I thought doing my extension was bad enough-trying to figure out where to run the soil pipes for 2 loos! I take my hat off to you! Cheers.

Thanks SandyLyon I wasn't aware of the 50 years guarantee.

Pressureized system running of something like a 250/300 litre tank. Gas engineer who fitting system recommended it

Gas engineer is a muppet.

Not my problem dan I’ll fit the bathrooms kitchens etc if there’s not enough pressure then that’s his problem. I think he using the assumption that the likely hood of all bathrooms being used at once etc
