I'm currently replumbing central heating using speedfit pipe. I've hit a trick corner to work in and space is very tight. Is it ok to use cable ties instead of a pipe clip on speedfit pipe?

If pipe is insulated yes if no as could wear through
Sure you have more experience in speedfit pipe than me however is the pipe liable to move that much on central heating?
Expansion and contraction is really the only movement
If pipe is insulated yes if no as could wear through
But plastic coated banding better
Hi Shaun,
Would plastic coated banding be ok on speedfit without insulation?
Thanks for your help

Yes they would work but need to be 15mm dia but if you can get them in why not use nail in clips ??
These allow space for a second parallel pipe to run close to the first. Nail clips protrude a little where the nail inserts making space a little too tight.
Thanks for advice.
Stager the clips
Put one in then the second to the left or right so nails are inline

BTW - I'm guessing copper saddle clips are a no-no with plastic pipe? Or is this ok?
