I need to replace a leaking lead mains supply pipe which runs from the outside pavement through to the basement of the property. The water supplier will be raising the pavement to provide a connection for the new supply pipe to the exisiting communication pipe which, they have assured me, is 25mm MDPE. I wish to use the same type of pipe but only require a length of 1 – 2 metres to reach the copper pipework inside the property.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to purchase this sort of length of MDPE anywhere or am I compelled to buy a roll of 50m of the damn stuff which is all that seems available from my local plumbers’ merchants etc.?
2. What is the best/appropriate type of insulation required for MDPE in the described situation?
Thanks in advance for advice. :wink_smile:
