Thanks for the advice. Was hoping the speedfit conduit would allow a pipe to be pushed through in situ but I was concerned it wouldn't as it's corrugated. I've found a route that I can run the pipe later and then close the boxing in up around it. Any problems later and I've made a note of where the clips are so I can drill some round 100mm holes and feed a new length in. Shouldn't ever need to though fingers crossed.

Anyone know if hep2o pipe or any other 15mm plastic for that matter will push through a piece of 3 metre conduit in situ. If so what conduit would you use. 25mm electrical conduit or I see speedfit do a purpose made corrugated Flexi conduit. Just not sure if it's made for pipe to be pushed through once its all in place. Thanks.

3 of us in the house. 1 being a 2 year old. We use between 200-230 litres a day. Varys from month to month between that. Was around 180 a day before we had a kid though. We only have a small toddler bath and a walk in shower for us. Might help that I've restricted the flow on that to 10lpm.

It's not something I'd gave a thought. Definitely going to give it some research now you've mentioned it though.

Hi, I've been lurking and gathering information for our house for a while. We're finally getting onto the plumbing stage and I've always used a mix of copper and JG speedfit on previous houses. Read lots on here about how hep2o is the best thing since beer and had the pleasure of using it a couple of times recently. Decided I'm going to spend the extra and go the hep2o route, I like the fact you need a tool, albeit a minimalistic one to disconnect any fittings. I'm probably going to go the manifold route, the only thing I'm struggling with is I've always liked to change my Flexi tap hoses every 5 years or so. I don't trust them after seeing a mate having one flood his kitchen. The standard ones that comes with taps seem to have the 1/2" thread and rubber flat washer. It seems however when I get replacements I can only ever seen to find compression fitting or push fit. Ideally I'd like to find branded wras approved ones like the originals but always struggle. If my replacements went down the push fit route would a piece of plastic pipe take repeated connection and disconnection with a new fitting over the years. I've seen copper turn green under the grab ring when removed after years and I know plastic wouldn't suffer this problem but would the grab rings keep gripping the used pipe time and time again. The other option I had thought about was fitting 1/2" BSP wall plates for each connection and then using a hep2o brass 15mm to 1/2" stub to connect the push fit Flexi onto, when replacement time comes, if the stub seems corroded I can easily change it out. Or if it's new tap time, use a 1/2" nipple with a flat face and use the supplied tap tails. I know I'm probably really overthinking this, but I love future proofing in my own property and simplicity when replacement time comes. Thanks.
