The cold feed connection to my 30 year old cylinder is leaking at the shell. Instead of going through the processs of draining down to try to repair it I thought it might just be a good time to replace the cylinder with a new one.
Existing install is copper pipe all round. Question is can I use cPVC pipe work connected direct to the cylinder in the replacement instead of copper pipe. This would be for cold feed, hot water outlet, vent and heating coil inlet/outlet.

:mrgreen:

Gotta love that plastic , makes for a great looking job. :p ..............having never used plastic i would guess experiance is needed when joining this stuff?

Can't beat the look of plastic pipe & fittings when fitting out boiler rooms/cylider cupboards. :LOL:
 
no reason not to fit plastic other than asthetics, as already said the only place you cant use it is direct connection to the boiler (and of course gas pipework).
 
I used Speedfit last week for the hot connection on a cylinder, I also use it for the cold feed connections if I can clip it properly, nothing wrong with it as far as I am concerned.
