Piping advice

[Tony 1]

Hi, im looking at moving a rad about 3m from an internal wall to the external wall. The problem i will have is removing all the required floorboards to extend/re-route pipework. I was looking at trying the PB barrier pipe with the pushfit fittings mainly for ease but i have never used this before. Has anyone used it on their installations? Is it suitable, is it good enough to do the job and is it more prone to leak?

Many thanks.

Thanks for that. What's the inserts for and where do you use them?

insert pushes into the end of the pipe to support it in the joint
