Anyone use it above ground ?

Not designed for above ground use I believe. Prone to UV damage.
Hmmm, sounds legitimate lol. I personally prefer copper, you know where you stand with it.
Where are you getting that info from? That I didn't know of to be honest. When sizing a fuel line it should be done through your OFTEC books, you'd be surprised at what sizes some lines can run off. The problem is manufacturers won't warrant an installation if you don't follow there sometimes ridiculous criteria. Will there be a tiger loop?
Quality pipe always a no no above ground. Only carry 10mm pvc coated copper. The copper is cheaper as well.

needs to be 15mm as it’s over 12m so best part of £230 for soft
Quote up 12mm pipe? Even if you can't get plastic coated you could lag in some electrical conduit.
can’t get locally and tbh never seen 12mm
that was my thought 2 6m lengths of 20mm galv conduit just emailed qual to see there stance on it
Yep and you can’t go from the tank to the fire valve without jointsSo there you have it. NOT suitable for above ground usage.
Just remember if you're not flaring it you need inserts for compression, in case you didn't already know.
Yes. Her house mate smoking weed in the shed
The above are all good reasons to only use top-outlet tanks.
I run a single run of qualpipe underground then above ground inside 20mm metal conduit to a glanded box. Connection to copper is inside the box. Qualpipe is protected from UV and no underground joints. Of course the qualpipe above ground is not fireproof but on a top-outlet tank it's not an issue.
