A flexi for boilers!

[Guest123]

Found this, it's expensive for what it is. it's a flexi and it's for boilers and central heating. The Polski plumbers and DIY'ers will be pricing for boiler installations now! LOL

On another note, it's a reintroduction of stainless steel, which I hate it was terrible stuff when they brought it out to "replace" copper. I hope it goes away....quickly!

They do not have rubber inside it is flexible solid pipe ,Have come accross them on new builds,looked ok on first install but can you imagine the mess they will look on a boiler change with pipe cross overs

And when you look at the cost of each one,soon adds up,think I will stick to copper pipework but probably would if they only cost 2p each

More products on the market to encourage the DIY unregistered person to install boilers
Happy Days

I absolutely hate stainless steel, it has replaced copper in health centres and hospitals which i used to work on so used it constantly.

flexible solid steel pipe. what part of that do i understand?

 

[nysk2008]

think it looks very diyish, whats wrong with bending a nice piece of copper or using fittings, i have a feeling a good few eastern europeans will be all over this one like a cheap suit - harsh but fair, sorry

 

[Guest123]

Sorry for the "missing" link, but the link won't insert here for some reason. The link above is the one I mean. These are very expensive for what they are and if my memory serves me well, there is a risk of bi-metallic corrosion with stainless steel in certain hard water areas. I hate the stuff.
Definately made for the DIY market. I can allready picture them using pushfits on them near the boiler.

Yep, you needed arms like a body builder to bend them. B&Q were selling them off cheap at 50p each recently.

Seems that plumbing is becoming much easier and more accessible to DIY'ers and Eastern block migrants. Soon it'll be us plumbers standing outside Tesco selling the Big Issue and not the Polskis!

Last time I bought the Big Issue, it did have **** in it, in fact 2 very big ones. The front cover had a picture of Cameron and Clegg! LOL

Start up the plumpers cazzy party and I'll vote for you.
