i see that a roll of speedfit 15mm pipe is, for example, 50 quid. I see one can also buy a dedicated flexible conduit through which one can thread said pipe for 40 quid. Or one can buy it prethreaded for 120 quid. Apparently installing it in conduit makes replacing easier, because in theory you can pull a new section of pipe through as you pull out the old leaking pipe. the conduit should also capture water and prevent damage to the structure while indicating which pipe is leaking
So I'm now curious, what is the likelihood of these pipes actually leakig? I don't see it likely that they will just burst so is there any point in putting the conduit in?
Perhaps it's for reasons such as forgetting whre it is in the wall, and not being detectable to a metal stud detector like a copper pipe would be, pounding a picture hook nail through it?
I reckon I'll use 100m of pipe in my build, so should I throw the extra 80 quid in and run the conduit?
