I have a 10m run to get to outside, can this be done in 32mm polypropylene pushfit pipe?
 
This is what I found:
A suitable plastic pipe (such as polypropylene complying with BS EN 1451-1) supported at maximum 300mm intervals, may be used for downstream pipe D2. A maximum distance between clips of 300mm provides adequate support to the pipe D2 in the event of discharge from safety devices
 
Yes polyprop is fine
 
Am I right in thinking though on a 15L water heater it only has a pressure relief not a temp pressure relief?

It isn't a d2 if its only pressure so no length or termination regulations. It would be like your boiler pressure relief

Over 15L it has to have a TPRV as standard

Yes 30l and above has both

No still can be temp as it’s pressure related

Copper pipes, I think its fair to say, is not what it used to be, the copper is getting thin while the cost is going up. Meanwhile, plastic Pushfit seems to be getting better and better, cost and convenience was always better, but now the quality is to, have we reached a stage where plastic will...

Hi all, I'm installing a concrete patio out back. By the wall under the kitchen sink I have an existing P-Trap gully for the grey water from the sink, dishwasher, washing machine etc. When I pour the concrete there won't be any chance to dig it up anymore. From my own research I get the...
