Is it common practice to fit plastic pipes to rads been fed off a combi boiler? It seems the so called "Plumber" has runn plaky pipes and put 6 inches of copper on the ends for connecting to rads

its the cheap quick and nasty way of doing it
its perfectly normal practice now to use plastic with copper tails out of the floor
most people boil water in a plastic kettle and think nothing of it
Most of the boilers fitted now have no pump adjustment many are inteligent so the idea of whacking the pump up is as old fashioned as your dislike of anytning since leadJust watch the boiler doesn't over heat Plastic goes like skipping rope in between the clips. People also perhaps disregard design resistance and just whack the pump up to overcome any resistances.
Steve, we all use plastic soil pipe and waste pipe these days (ive never fitted a cast stack as ive only been plumbing since 1991). But this thread is about plastic for c/h pipework which, as i believe, is for the plumbers who dont care about quality but only quantity. Using plastic with push fit is like putting the top on my biro which any numpty can do thus encouraging anyone to call them-self a plumber.
Loathe,loathe,loathe. No one can compare plastic to copper, soldered joints will long out live an 'o' ring and grip ring. With hard flooring, cant see how plastic would be even considered. The only upside of plastic is that most of its installers are animal lovers, as they like leaving hammocks for the mice.
upper floor of house is all laminate and rads fed from a manifold hidden in void under vanity unit so no joins below floorwhy would anyone want to reduce down to 10mm pipework
