Hello,
I need to replace the Galvanized Steel pipes in my central heating system, the question is weather to use Copper of Plastic.
I have heard plastic can have the following issues
1: Joints come loose over time and leak
2: Joints suck in air over time, meaning more bleeding of the system etc.
3: Mice or other rodent (not that I have a known issue with rodents) eat these pipes where as they do not eat copper pipes.
As far as plastic goes I heard Hep02 is the best one to go for?
As far as copper goes I have heard TaraCorp Sterling Lead Free Solder is the best in the industry, but cannot seem to find this for sale at UK outlets, does anyone know where I can by TaraCort Sterling solder/water based flux?
Basically I guess the main question is if it was your house and you were intending to live there for the next 30 years or so which would you install?
Thank everyone in advance,
JoB
