Hi, hope someone could offer advice, thanks in advance.
I've had a new boiler and also had water tank in the loft / hot cylinder removed. Install went all ok, but in the loft, a plastic pipe was used to I believe connect the old water tank cold feed (not 100% sure)
Id asked originally if copper could be used as I've known friends who had issues with plastic leaking and we have had mice and squirrels in the past up there (chewing!)
Installer tells me it's unsafe to install copper in the loft and they are not allowed - is this correct?
The plastic pipe (connects to existing 22mm copper pipe in the loft and 15mm copper the other) is also not lagged and is not clipped (just laying on top of insulation / under some roof timber) and is about 2.5m in length ...should it be clipped/secured and lagged?
Just really want to avoid any future issues but don't feel I know enough to challenge (or whether he's right anyway!) Any advice really appreciated as other than this, I'm happy with the change
Thanks
