Hi, I'm installing a central heating / domestic hot water (solid fuel Rayburn multiburner range) vented/gravity feed system. I intended to use plastic piping except for the 28mm circuit and hot water takeoff from cylinder, however on checking pipe leaflets max service conditions for them are 92deg c with short term overload of 114degc. Occassionally in the past with a former system the water in the pipework would be heard boiling during cooking, remedied by turning on the central heating to cool the water temp; because of this possibillity am I correct in thinking that plastic is'nt suitable either for hot water or c/h in this relatively uncontrollable situation?
