Wras approved flexi?

[Mgrant]

I guess a flexi that is used on a toilet supply needs to be wras approved. Even though its not supplying drinking water. But incase the system experiences back flow. Am I correct?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yes but tbh anything you supply/ fit should be wras approved

I just saw a 500mm flexi in screwfix one with an iso valve that isn't wras approved. Can't think why you'd want one with an iso valve on for a heating system.

Because it's a normal cold water one always pipe up expansion vessels in copper

And some people just don't care fitt anything

Yes but it having an iso valve on through me.

Reckon most expansion vessels I see have a flexi, thought it was the norm.

IMO , most wras gear is generally better quality rather than the normal Far East junk

Flexible Hose with Valve 15mm x ½

Not wras approved though. Thus not suitable to put on the toilet feed? Need a longer one than 300mm.

Speedfit flexi connectors by john guess are WRAS approved cheers kop

Thanks is the above flexi not suitable to pipe a toilet up with, because its not wras approved. Cant see the purpose of it, when do you need a flexi with and iso valve on, on a heating system?

 

[king of pipes]

I would not use them on heating only on hot and cold supplies stick with the wras approved product generally better quality . cheers kop

So can't seem to find a 500mm flexi with an iso valve on that is wras approved.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Why do you need it that long ?

Have you tried BES? Do plumbing items need to be specifically WRAS approved? I thought that just meant they'd given someone in WRAS a backhander or sexual favours? What if it has a KIWA approval or suitable BS?
