Alternative to trac pipe or trac pipe

[mutley racers]

Hi guys. In need of around 12 metres corrugated stainless tube for gas run. Anyone know of alternatives to trac pipe and where to purchase. Needs to be 28mm. I see screwfix do an inch one but on the installation manual looks like you need a special tool.

What sort of pressure losses do you get from corrugated pipe? Never used the stuff.

Gastite Corrugated Flexible Sleeve - Gastite Corrugated St. St. Tubing & Fittings - Stainless Steel - Pressure Metals

How would the pipe be clipped in a vertical duct in this though

Pipe wouldn’t corrugated tube would rubber lined clips etc

 

[mutley racers]

I see.

What about using a 6 metre length of 40mm pvc waste pipe as the sleeve?

You would have to ask gas safe and manufacturer on that

But I can’t see why not aslong as it’s gas tight eg glued

I believe as well that it should be fine as you can use it to sleeve through walls and it is mentioned as being able to hold natural gas.

Tha is for your help as always.

Thanks all. William's and co actually has it so purchased from there

Well I tell you what. I had a right mare with this stuff today. Didn't know you needed a big cutter to cut this. Used a hacksaw and could not get a seal on it. Massive spanners to do the fittings up and I only had big old stillsons and not enough space. Wish I had gone the copper route in the end.

 

[mutley racers]

What cutters do you guys use for these.? Video says stainless ones. Do you also have some seriously wide mouth spanners?
