plumbing with plastic.....

[ratbag]

OK, my first post. (I have looked in Wikki and forum archive but my question seems not to have been answered - no flames please!)

I have been a loyal yorkshire fitting man, but am considering using 10mm plastic onto copper tails to run a new radiator....
Questions:
1. is it sensible to go plastic?
2. is it sensible to bury pushfit from Cu tail to plastic in chase?
3. could i go through wall in run as a lazy s rather than a series of 90deg elbows (i.e. min radius of bend in 10mm plastic)

would appreciate advice

Im a convert.... gone from Yorky fittings to Plastic.... with Copper tails for Rads....

I was so worried when i did it, and thaught this will never hold.... but, no probs so far....


My advice is get a propper plastic pipe cutter, they give clean edges to pipe, as the hacksaw way can snag the rubber seals.... Also dont forget the pipe inserts....


Good Luck.
