flexi pipes vs solid pipes

[articoceanic]

Hello

My bathroom has had solid copper pipes to all the taps, but my plumber is replacing it with flexi, after i asked for them to replace the stuff.

Am i being ripped off with an inferior service? flexi will leak sooner or later will it not.

regards

The only issue I have with them is plumbers tightening them onto isolation valves. That sharp edge is not good practice. Just use male couplers and it will never leak

yep couldnt agree more, compression joints are for olives and arent designed as a sealing edge, job im at right now had this on the basin , didnt leak but the washers were forced inside the valve reducing the flow rate,
