Protecting speedfit pipes burried in a wall

[kelles]

Hello everyone

I am chasing the walls to hide radiator pipes and i am using 10mm layflat speedfit pipe. I want to keep the depth of chasing to a minimum to make the job easier therefore i was wondering what is the best way to protect to the pipes so that they are not in direct contact with the plaster and heep the required depth to a minimum??

which option do you suggest?

1) Use Pipe conduit over the pipe? these increases the depth required a lot.

2) use expanding foam to cover the pipes and then level the foam and plaster over it.

3) fill the chasing with bonding plaster or cement or any other material and make the wall flash then plaster over it.

Out of those options it would be conduit for me.
You may reduce the depth a little using pipe sleeving rather than conduit, but either way you need a metal detection strip alongside any hidden plastic you have.
I'm pretty sure that option 2 would invalidate any warranty from JG, and so would option 3 if I am reading it right.

speedfit supply a flexible coil conduit type product for the 15mm pipe it's about 20mm in diameter - looks like corrugated tube, bit like a vacuum cleaner hose - number 1 all the way

put it in some 15mm speedfit.

Hairfelt lagging?

put felt on wall and cover pipes with this nailing at sides

This is an error. Its like cutting a couple of inches off your d1ck so you can save money by buying a smaller pair of underpants.

1) Use Pipe conduit over the pipe? these increases the depth required a lot.

But its the correct solution. All the other solutions are cheap underpants. You will live to regret them.

I personally would not use pvc chanelling but galvanized chanelling as used by sparks to protect cables..brum

40mm channel will go over clips as well

I will use a pipe conduit, i have already made the chase deep enough for the pipe conduit to go in
