As in the how lot to copper pipe, no hoses bar obvious hose reels.

Would be pretty easy as you can get fittings to most parts, not sure on the cost? Cant be that much and no splitting of hoses?

Would be better for hot delivery to to L5's and such

[darren clarke]

it would do as long as was insulated in the winter, would probably look better as well

Joints migh crack if full of water and subjected to freezing temperature.

Best to just use a good quality hose. Not had any spilt in the nearly 5 years I have been wfp.

It would be better done in plastic pipe & push fit connectors IMO. Made for central heating systems.

Ok forget the hose splitting issue, and ive used good quality hose and had a few split when frozen solid

Just asking if anyones done it

Could make a put a radiotor inline to, would be toasty

Would not the copper pass impurities into the water?

Yes, it would.

Use plastic instead.

£5 please.

[LWC]

Would it really? I did not think of that.

[LWC]

But then the copper inside a boiler such as l5 is making the water impure?

[LWC]

Plastic piping

Not suitable for gas applications

Do not join directly to boilers or other heat sources (a minimum of 350mm of copper pipe should be used)

i tried copper on my trolley system but could not get it to pressure up,don't know why?

[darren clarke]

the water shouldnt sit in the pipe long enought to make it impure,  it takes month of the same water to turn rad water crap

If copper leached into the water at, say 1ppm, you'd be looking at around a gramme per 1000  litres of water.  Think that through for a few minutes and work out how short a time that would take to dissolve your pipes.

Copper will not contaminate your water.

Looks blankly at Perfect Windows 

What you trying to say? lol

[darren clarke]

think he is trying to say it will take ages to disolve u r pipe,   

it is actually the flux used in pipe work that makes it bad not the copper,  copper shoudl last for years,  that is why thy flush system

Absolute, total & utter nonsense!

Man, I thought I'd heard it all but this one even beats Trevor's attempt!!

Yes, the first foot or so from the boiler would be copper. This is no hardship as you can connect both copper & plastic with the same connector.

Plastic pipe & fittings are a doddle to work with & cheap too.

If you chose copper there would be more chance of a pipe split by ice if it wasn't insulated.

Correct me if wrong but would not the joints be prone to fail due to freezing temperatures.

If so why is this even being discussed?

I notice Sensai had the misfortune to have his pre-filter housings on RO crack again.

You're correct dd, if I was going down this route, especially in winter I would use Yorkshire "Tectite sprint", a slimline all copper push fit which are superb! I've got some on my central heating system.

I was told a long time ago that copper would leach into water, not in the same way lead would, I know.

Only saying what I was told, not pulling anyones chain.
