The list is quite long, its just as well that Sqube were generous with the freebie stock.

What pressure you going up to Eco? Every thing over 500mbar MUST be welded in accordance with IGEM/UP/2 and EU10116.

Its vacuum lines Cropster

Just had an email back from RIGID and they are having problems getting the square dies for the threading machines approved by the EU, typical!

 

[stoker122]

Thought it was compression with squlives

 

[on31ll]

What are the prices like ? For fittings and pipe ?

 

[SimonG]

I bet we have to wait until next year for the square drills!

 

[Ray Stafford]

OFFER CLOSED. No more stock available until next April Fools day!

Now lets analyse the OP shall we. The clues were all there.

Apologies for this coming up so late, but I have only just had the go-ahead from the manufacturer.

Perhaps it means that a different set of members will get the freebies?

Reviewing any past freebie is NOT a requirement for this one, but you do have to be a forum regular, and PM me your snail mail address.

I have an fairly large supply of these freebies which are some samples of the new SQUBE copper tube, and a starter pack of fittings.

Long lengths of tube are quite awkward to send by carrier, so the freebie lengths will be the 1800mm version that they make for the DIY stores.

Following the passing of EU directive 1/04/13, from April 1st 2014 the use of high capacity, square section, thick wall tube will be a mandatory requirement for all renewable applications attracting government subsidy.

On the continent, these have been around for a while, particularly in Eastern europe, and SQUBE is the only square section tube currently meeting all european regs.

Overall, I quite like the look of it, although I am not sure if the compression fittings are going to catch on - tightening the square thread requires a specialist spanner and some practice.

Looking to the future, I suppose we have to get used to new ideas, so this is your chance to be amongst the first to work with the latest plumbing technology.


PM me a snail mail address to book your freebie now, but I might not answer until the morning, since its getting late. PMs wil be taken in the order of arrival in my inbox until we run out of freebies.

Cheers

Now lets sing a song to the tune of a well known Christmas favourite:

On the fifth day of easter my little prank gave to me...
Five normal plumbers
Four pub members
Three trusted advisors
Two college lecturers
and a moderator in a square tree

Credit to Croppie and Tamz as co-conspirators, but a big thanks to CentralHeatKing for the original concept, production, direction, product development and best original screenplay!

Well done also to those who picked up the gag and played along with it - Keefy gets credit for catching on quick, but several other also saw through it.

My wife thinks I have regressed back to childhood - giggling like a schoolboy.
