Discuss Flexis to pipe up bath in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Does it matter than most flexis for baths say not suitable for drinking water I know most people won't drink from the bath but it's a possibility.
Fair point. But I bet no one removes them, in fact it's probably a warranty issue if you did. So there's no point pretending that we're not using them. We all do.
Useless statistic of the week:
For every 100m of copper tube we sell, we also sell 5.7 flexis.
Who in the right mind asks for .7 of a flexi??
That's a bit of a daft comment. Why would you remove the flexi from a boiler. If it fails its boiler manufacturers problem.
I use flexis. I don't touch speedfit. We all have our own things that we do.
But talking about modifying an appliance because people don't like flexis even in a hypothetical sense is a bit silly

For that matter, who asks for 100m of tube?
Are drinking water approved flexi's not required for baths then?
Most modern taps won't outlast the flexis - & that's saying something!
boilers seem to have a 7 -8 year design life, copper pipework designed for life, simplees

Bib and brace alert...
cant see you reaching 300 posts
Maybe not as they are cutting our internet time here in Broadmoor:devil2:
wait a minute, you are in Broadmoor? What is this country coming to? Someone who should be doing time is allowed to be posting on the net? Probably allowed to visit adult sites as well. Disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful.
inherently flexible pipes will fail, they are made of rubber which will perish long before copper and steel and although the fitter may no longer be trading when it fails, I feel that we should be using something designed to last the course of the building. thats the difference between tradesmen and diy in my opinion and as a tradesman I like to think my work will outlive me.
What's the live span of a fibre washer used to seal a copper 3/4 tap connector though?
We cover maintance for some rented houses that are only 5 years old and have had to change a few leaking fibre washers.Sadly they dont make those fibre washers to the same quality of old.
