Are there any plans for push fit couplings? I'm surprised Yorkshire haven't tooled up for this yet, it's unlike them to miss out an opportunity. Could make quite a difference on pipe sizing as well with it's larger cross sectional area.

Bend it like you do with any other square tube it's not rocket science is it? Plus there's less flow restriction in a square pipe bend.

As for your last question all I can say is if you kept up to date with renewables the answer would be obvious. You sure you're qualified?

Yeah of course it can be bent, but everything would have to be at 90 degrees. Thus requiring more fittings, thus MORE restrictions overall. Not rocket science is it?

And if I had any need or desire to keep up with renewables, I would have. Unfortunately it's not something that would benefit me. I asked out of curiosity, so instead of making some snide comment questioning my qualifications, you could have just answered the question, providing you knew the answer.
 
I'm afraid I'm with TB on this one. I'll wait for a sample that I might actually have a practical use for! Thanks anyway Ray.

I always knew you other lot were square.

Everyone should keep up with new technical innovations, this product is the future and its entirely possible that EU directive 010414 or soon after will make this mandatory for all plumbing/heating applications.
Especially when they bring out a flexible version.
 
Hi Ray, I have a large job coming up, it is to be done in 2" BSP threaded steel pipe. It would look really neat if available in square section, could you advise please.
 
There's no way this is going to be made mandatory for a looooong time. The entire country has standard round pipe.

I agree it's good to keep up with innovations.

As for EU directives. They just annoy everyone, surely!?

The directive came into force nine hours ago along with the welfare reforms. Not sure EU010413 will last as long though.

What pressure you going up to Eco? Every thing over 500mbar MUST be welded in accordance with IGEM/UP/2 and EU10116.

Well surely that's easier then? Welding in a straight line has got to be easier than welding a curve. Win win, looks neater, easier to work with.

No reason why this can't be bent using the correct guide and former. Surely it depends on how the pipe is annealed before it leaves the factory.
 
STILL A FEW FREEBIES LEFT - at the rate the PMs are coming in, I reckon we will have to close the offer in about an hour and a half.

Ray
 
Is Ray going to let us know who got a PM in to him before the cut-off?
