Hi Can anyone advise me, Is standaed Hep2o ok for a closed circuit heating system or should I use Barrier, have heard that standard is ok on open tank systems but not so good on closed, any thoughts out there.
hello all, just wanted your opinions on which brand of push fit fittings are best from your own experiences? ive not used them a great deal, my two local suppliers are screwfix and toolstation but ive been advised not to use the jg speedfit that screwfix sell and am not sure about toolstations?
