Plastic tee fittings near boiler

[Rzzrmeanr]

Hi, i'm installing a bathroom and need to install tee fittings into existing hot/colds. The best place to do this is near the boiler, however someone told me you cant use plastic pipe/fittings within a certain distance of the boiler. The best place for the tee would be about 2 feet away from the boiler, can i use plastic here?

Thanks

Hi, you need to check the boiler manual as it will be stated in there the correct distance from the boiler you are permitted to use plastic. Most manufacturers state a minimum distance of 1 meter away from the boiler. But check the mi's to be sure.
