The plumber who installed our power shower in 1997 used plastic pipe teed off the stainless steel 15 mm pipes to the hot and cold basin taps. He omitted to fit isolation valves so had to do a quick bodge yesterday (see Mira Shower post) and bought a couple of standard Speedfit valves from B&Q. I have not used plastic before so an a bit unsure about mixing pipe and fittings.
The pipe has the following text (some illegible):- HBP.UK Part 2:1990:Class H PB H&C services & central heating 12 bar
20C 7 bar 82c 15 x 2.0mm 0722242KF02. May be some mis-reading there.Am I right that this is an early HEP2O type of barrier pipe? And is there going to be a problem using Speedfit valves with it - they are still dry after 12 hours.
I only have access to (retail) mail/internet order or B&Q/Screwfix/Wickes/Homebase.
