Hi guys. In need of around 12 metres corrugated stainless tube for gas run. Anyone know of alternatives to trac pipe and where to purchase. Needs to be 28mm. I see screwfix do an inch one but on the installation manual looks like you need a special tool.

What sort of pressure losses do you get from corrugated pipe? Never used the stuff.
Can you say who? BES?
As this is going into a duct with a soil pipe does anyone know where to get a big 0.05 vent? Well, a couple

Yeah.

The top is open into the loft?
have to check if thats ok but why not use somthing like this
Gastite Corrugated Flexible Sleeve - Gastite Corrugated St. St. Tubing & Fittings - Stainless Steel - Pressure Metals
no need to ventilate the void then

How would the pipe be clipped in a vertical duct in this though
Pipe wouldn’t corrugated tube would rubber lined clips etc
I see.
What about using a 6 metre length of 40mm pvc waste pipe as the sleeve?

You would have to ask gas safe and manufacturer on that
But I can’t see why not aslong as it’s gas tight eg glued
I believe as well that it should be fine as you can use it to sleeve through walls and it is mentioned as being able to hold natural gas.
Tha is for your help as always.
Another vote for Gastite contractors pack from BES . Kop
Thanks all. William's and co actually has it so purchased from there
Well I tell you what. I had a right mare with this stuff today. Didn't know you needed a big cutter to cut this. Used a hacksaw and could not get a seal on it. Massive spanners to do the fittings up and I only had big old stillsons and not enough space. Wish I had gone the copper route in the end.
What cutters do you guys use for these.? Video says stainless ones. Do you also have some seriously wide mouth spanners?
