Is all PB pipe the same?

[joe90]

Maybe a silly question but is all PB pipe the same?. I am about to order all the 10, 15 and 22 mm water pipe for my first fix plumbing, on recommendation from the welsh plumbing expert I am going with hep20 and notice that their pipe is more expensive than others ( toolstation). So is all PB pipe equal or should I stick to one manufacturer?

If you stick to all hep and install in accordance with the MI's you'll be warranteed. If you mix n match you won't. 

 

Edit to add : I'd only use Hepworth fittings, they're just so much better than the likes of JG Speedfit.

Like @Nickfromwales I only use Hep2O - I was about to post to see who has found the cheapest pipe ..!!

 

I normally use JTM but there are a few on eBay currently at decent prices ... I've decided against 10mm as the cost of the reducers needed to go to the toilets etc makes no benefit. If I could find a 10mm to 1/2" tap connector then I would do it in a heartbeat ...

Yes Peter the reducers are a pain and 10mil to tap fittings  would be great. I am only using 10mil on hot water runs to reduce lag.
