Polypipe and Pipe Thermostats

[Hunda67]

Hi,

Might be a stupid question but here goes. Can I fit a pipe thermostat to a polypipe carrying DHW? Will it work as if fixed to a copper pipe or should I change the pipe for copper?

Thanks.

I'd put in a piece of copper to make sure the heat is conducted to the stat properly.

What brand are you fitting. Is be speaking to the thermostat support and also the pipe manufacturer. Both should be able to tell you if its suitable or not.

Thanks for the replies. Tried it with nothing connected to the pipe thermostat and wasn't very reliable. Will try putting in a bit of copper.
