White hairy material around towel heater pipe joint: asbestos?

[Stigster]

It's not on the pipe joints, its inside the heads.

It's on both the head and the coupling as it comes through the wall.

It most probably will be hemp and boss white, as above set fire to it to see

I love your ways mate!

I think that's the third time in about as many months your solution has been to set fire to something to gain further information and I love it.

It gets worse, we are dealing with a pull extruded GRP solar thermal roofing and wall
cladding system it is BRe and BBA approved but I though I wanted to test it to destruction so we got a decent sample organised outside my workshop and we
pointed the oxy acetylene gun at it for 30 mins last Saturday morning, photo it and video as well, ace stuff it will not support combustion and keeps its integrity at
2020c for half an hour. We did a sample of plastic decking a few years ago ..wow
just on propane it went up fine style after 5 mins...so no plastic decking for a large pub chain..ciggys and leaves under it...whoosh. We use experts but final test is us
...have a great weekend ..centralheatking we also shoot shotguns at things or drive my defender over them its fun and proves things one way or another
