burst lead supply pipe

[lame plumber]

lead locks arent that cheap

lead pipe is around 25mm .. if thats possible? there is a length of plastic closer to where stop tap is where there must of been a leak before and its 28mm. not sure what pipe it is though (blue plastic) how much would that be per metre and what would it be?

 

[Crinkmeister]

You sure your MDPE is 28mm not 25mm? I didn't think you could get 28mm MDPE.

 

[Neil T]

couldnt reach it properly to get exact measurement so could be 25mm.

 

[Neil T]

so the mdpe would be suitable with compression fittings?

 

[Crinkmeister]

Need pictures or a diagram! MDPE is cheap -I'd be tempted to replace as long a length as I could. You can then sell the lead -which will probably cover the cost!!

 

[Crinkmeister]

Have you got MDPE going into stop tap? You can get leadlock to 25mm MDPE. Make certain you get correct size of leadlock - not all lead pipes are equal!

sounds like a plan ... dont have pic sorry. That would be ok running from where it enters house upto stop tap at 25mm? And are screwfix cheapest about or could i get it cheaper elsewhere? I notice they do 50m for £25 at min

 

[Neil T]

No its about a 1m length where someones fixed a burst before. The lead seems to be around 25mm and have a couple of different size leadlocs just in case
