True. But I honestly cannot see them turning us down.Any friends of the US is no friend of China at the moment.
Out of curiosity, is that pipe suitable for standard hep/JG push fit fittings? It could be quite easy to mistake it for standard pushfit if you only took a small section of board up and only saw the pipe, not the fittings.Copper but starting to use a bit more mlcp these days
Easier to snake around the sparkys

I see. Is it semi rigid pipe? Looking at the pic, your pipe tails don't seem to be curling over as standard PF would. I haven't came across the stuff before.No itās not
Also you wonāt get pushfit fittings to fit

How does it compare price wise to copper?The easiest way I can discribe it itās like soft copper can bend by hand etc

COPPER
Are you sure?
I wasn't sat on a wooden fence lol.Splinters comes to mind!!
Buteline offer a 25 year warranty on the plastic pipework. It has no O-rings and is press fitted.
Their rep said they will be upping this to 50 years soon.
Gerberit offer a 1 year guarantee on their Mapress copper press fittings.
How long a guarantee do you offer on your hand soldered copper pipes?
If you want to offer a manufacturers backed warranty on your installation, like you do with boilers, the answer seems simple.
Install plastic
[lights fuse and retreats to a safe distance]
25 years geberit offer
