My local plumber, a really neat guy originally from Europe, told me that he was brought up and trained using copper. He now worries about it here and recommended for my job other materials because a lot of the copper piping now available is manufactured in some odd-ball Asian places and he claims that a lot of it is crap and won't last. :cool:

There was something on fair go a few years ago about copper piping that leaked through tiny holes, and it was actually corroding. Certainly a worry if you are a house owner. Just make sure your plumbing is easily accessible.

Butylene I think it's called? A grey-ish coloured plastic pipe with connectors you can crimp on.

Buteline.
Different to the nasty stuff that requires glue.

And I don't buy frocks. I haven't even bought food for weeks.
