I would say 20m maximum in reality around 17m probably

This is for gravity systems and you can see that at 32KW it is recommended a minimum of 12mm over that distance. Sub gravity systems is different.

needs to be 15mm as it’s over 12m so best part of £230 for soft :(

Agree totally mate. We only ever used plastic coated copper. Even the smallest domestic installation probably has an oil tank close to 1000ltrs. If plastic pipe was installed wrong and failed on a gravity system then there will be a hefty clean up bill.

Quote up 12mm pipe? Even if you can't get plastic coated you could lag in some electrical conduit.

can’t get locally and tbh never seen 12mm

that was my thought 2 6m lengths of 20mm galv conduit just emailed qual to see there stance on it
 
I will I can’t see why in theory but there’s two possibilities

one mechanical or environmental damage

two fire risk
