10mm pipe on rolls

Apr 28, 2022 2 Replies

I wanted to add a radiator and reckoned i'd get away with hiding the pipework behind skirting if I used 10mm. I've always found unrolled copper looks nasty when straightened out (not that it would matter when covered up I suppose) so bought a roll of plastic. I found it really awful to work with, I had an idea that when the roll was unpacked it would want to uncoil but no, it presents a real ballache when trying to place it straight, and found it difficult to shove it fully home into the speedfit connectors. In hindsight I wish i'd done the job any other way.



Just wondering how others get on with 10mm copper/plastic on a roll.


Wish i'd known this was a thing [facepalm]

I can't remember which type of Speedfit 10mm I used, but I found it OK for, as you say, hidden runs behind radiators.

In any case, on straight runs plastic does need to be secured fairly regularly, so it won't be /too/ bad - not as good as copper though.
