Right, typical plumbers life.
polypipe uk sells 18mm pipe. you can buy miles of the stuff as much as you like, to the moon and back, brilliant.
polypipe uk has no means of joining the pipe to anything or providing you with the simplest insert so that even if you had a fitting, you could use it!!
I am ordering from australia. dont forget I only need 30cm of pipe, but yes as normal i am ordering 100 metres of 18mm pipe (smallest possible order) and 25 18mm couplings plus 100 inserts!!
so if any of you plumbers out there need any, let me know, i will have loads and god its expensive.
