Sorry if this is a numpty question, but I'm a sparks (boo!), and I need to run in some plastic pipe before closing up some walls, and there's no plumber on the job yet.
It's only a small 1 bed apartment, with gas combi boiler supplying a kitchen sink, bathroom (shower/bath, basin, WC) and 4 rads.
I know where I need to run the pipes but i'm not sure what type to run - preferrably the same type and size (15mm) for everything.
There appear to be the following types (from screwfix as I don't have an account with a plumbers merchants):
PE-X Barrier Pipe
BPEX Barrier Pipe
Polybutylene Pipe (WRAS approved)
Polybutylene Barrier Pipe
Plastic covered flexible copper
Also need to run a gas pipe for a hob - does this need to be copper and any particular grade/spec?
Anyhring else I need to be aware of/avoid?!
Many thanks
