Tectite flexible metal pipe

[Bogart]

Anybody have experience of using this pipe which I gather is quite new. Am considering it as need to fit a rad and the pipework will need tight bends but also to be a bit flexible to get it in position.

Won't get tight bends out of mlcp (which is what tictite is)

They say you get a bend radius of half that compared to plastic pipe.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I would say it's the same as plastic

I can only quote what they say surely they cannot be wrong!

hey state

Oh my ye of little faith. All I am trying to do is get a feed from one room on one side of a doorway, across the threshold and out the wall on the other side of the doorway. Not madly keen on plastic pipe exposed as never looks nice. Cannot knock the walls about too much as a listed building hence I thought of 10mm copper, though not sure of bending that , and tyhen I saw this tectite stuff. Failing any of these may tyhink of using standard 15mm pipe with one of these passing through each wall.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Why not bend some 15mm ?

Problem is the pipe to get throught he walls will need to have more than one bend in it , more of a dog leg with a bend and then I will not be able to feed it through.
