Anybody used it...got a big 5 floor system to put in and getting the gas to the boiler where i want it is going to be a nightmare to say the least. Ive seen trac pipe only once and wondered what peoples opinions of it are.

I`ve used it but only from E.C.V. to regulator.....are you sure you are talking about trac-pipe??
 
used trac pipe a few times handy to use but ferkin expensive ,also watch your joints can be a buggar to seal, over long distances up through floors just like pulling mdpe.

comes in coils we order it in whatever lenght req 25m/50m etc,pvc coated stainless pipe can be bent or formed to shape supported at intervals can be awkward pulling up on your own larger sizes are heavy .here is a link to the manufacturers www.omegaflex.co.uk
 
Two small points to remember.

You cannot bury the pipe in a screed.

You may have an issue with fire regs in a multiple occupancy building.
 
trac pipe has been part of the ACS for the last 2.5 years.

DIA is there anything that you do not know?? :LOL:

Been learning for the last 48 years so quite possibly there's a few new things still to take in the old brain :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The point is in this trade you/me will never stop learning, thats what makes it so interesting.

I know, but it only involved Gas meters when I sat mine. .....in fact I sat my ACS less than 2 years ago..wasn`t much of a mention there...

That`s so annoying....not knowing..coming across systems that you are totally unprepared for..you have seen it all.. read the book & worn the T-shirt...must be great being a smug b*stard... :D :D

Iv'e seen plenty buried in cement/screed, using a simple plastic barrier to protect the trac-pipe.
