flexible pipes buried in wall

[Mike R]

Hi

I am looking at fitting a semi-pedestal basin on an external wall of an en-suite- it would make life much easier if I could use the braided nylon type connectors chased into the plaster/blockwork and connected below floorboards. Is there any reason why not?

TIA

why not just bury normal pipe and have the elbows coming out of the wall ?

Do they come in a length long enough to go from the tap to under the floor?

If I was short on entirely proper tools I'd tend to use the soft-copper-with-bendy-bits lengths to achieve this, along with Yorkshire joints to get the main length in the wall.

Yes, the existing basin is supplied via these flexible connectors approx

900mm long that I was hoping to retain, but have now decided to replace with copper as suggested.

Thanks to all for replies.
