Hi there,

I want to run some cold water supply pipe under floor screed in copper or maybe hep. If running copper which is the best method of protecting fro the screed? :-
Pipe in lagging with all splits and joins in lagging taped with duct tape?
Pipe wrapped in felt?
Pipe taped in duct tape only?
Plastic coated copper?

In hep is there any other way to run this in the screed other than the hep that you can get which has that flexible black conduit stuff already on the coil?

Any other other suggestios?
 
If you want to run copper it needs to be ducted. The pipe needs to be replaceable so hep in conduit is the easiest.

wrap copper in denso to prevent lime from cement attacking it.
