Corrugated Stainless Steel Flexi

Featured Replies

Has anyone got experience with corrugated stainless flexis for water plumbing? They look to solve a lot to the issues with the standard rubber + braided stainless flexi:

  • Improved bore size
  • No kink
  • No perishable rubber tubing

Ridgeline even sell the pipe to do your whole system in corrugated stainless.

I think I have only seen this sort of thing in gas connections before, but I might be mistaken.

They look good.  I guess that at about £5 each, they won't feature for most plumbers or builders, but may work for high end projects and self build.  I think tracpipe gas pipe is a bit like this, but it has a plastic outer sheath.

I've used them on a couple of basin and toilet feeds and they do hold up well. The bore helps where a braided hose would choke the flow a bit, and they don't kink in tight corners. Just don't force a tight bend, let it sweep round naturally.
