Does it matter than most flexis for baths say not suitable for drinking water I know most people won't drink from the bath but it's a possibility.

this threads all your fault, flexis not the flavour of the month in hospitals since its been proved they harbour legionellas and other bugs!

Fair point. But I bet no one removes them, in fact it's probably a warranty issue if you did. So there's no point pretending that we're not using them. We all do.

That's a bit of a daft comment. Why would you remove the flexi from a boiler. If it fails its boiler manufacturers problem.

I use flexis. I don't touch speedfit. We all have our own things that we do.

But talking about modifying an appliance because people don't like flexis even in a hypothetical sense is a bit silly
 
Useless statistic of the week:

For every 100m of copper tube we sell, we also sell 5.7 flexis.

Wasn't suggesting anyone should or would do it hypothetically or otherwise. That wasn't the point,. but whatever, each to their own.

When Ceramic 1/4 turn came out "They" said that would be the end of changing washers.
They were correct, it's the taps that now get changed because there are too many different and unknown types of Ceramic cartridge.
 
if you fit flexies that are not supplied with the tap because its quicker you are are not a real plumber man up and do it in copper you bunch of fanny's

that's why i'm not worried that i install flexi's. even brands like bristan are failing after a year or two now. change flexi's when you change taps, problem solved.

unless anyone genuinely suspects a resurgance in build quality for taps is due.

Oh the "EGO POLICE" will be onto you when they see this
 
flexies are utter crap been caught out with one before when couldnt be bothered to spend an extra five mins piping a bath blew off months later and hardly used one since.

flexis for fudgewitts

hard pipe for professionals
 
I rarely do work where flexies can be used, but in my opinion the quality of the flexies must be rubbish if they fail at just a few bar pressure.
