same old question ? plastic or copper ?

[Paul Barker]

Barrier is a bit more expensive so the cheapskates use it though they know they shouldn't. There are also the halfwits who just don't know any better and think all plastic is the same.

They are bound to have a surprise when they try to solder plastic

What you seem to forget is that when plastic started to become popular approx 10-15 years ago plumbers took the advice given to them by the reps if this was wrong how was we to know it would cause problems.

Why do they make 10mm thats not barrier pipe???

I wish I was perfect

We have found that plastic pipes only accentuate the Electrolysis process and thus have been to properties only 8 months old with pure black system water. To add salt to the wound, it can't be reliably powerflushed

The newer "barrierd" stuff prevents this, or it suppose to at least.

ok mate

It has always been the case that barrier is used on heating to stop the oxygen permeating the pipe and causing corrosion. Most fitting it have never seen a rep in their life. If the go to the merchants or BnQ and see 2 rolls of seemingly the same stuff, one £30 the other £35 most will take the cheaper one

10mm can be used on mains pressure plumbing systems eg to basin & WC's. It is a good question. Infact why do they make std at all?

I wish I was perfect

So do i

Trust me guys being perfect is well overrated, and actually no fun.
