www.pipestock.comWhere's the best trade place to purchased biomass water pipe please?
it depends if it is for internal use or external use.
I've just priced up for 40mm thermo twin for quite a bit less than that.
Different pipe has different heat loss remember. I got FEC to compare pipes last time and decided the opportunity cost of the cash in getting the best pipe wasn't worth it so settled for slightly worse performance for a massive £££ saving. There comes a stage in all these jobs were the best of everything isn't always the best idea.
If the run is <20m there is no difference. Uponor is far more expensive imo for its usage.Get what? My supplier or the advice?
The supplier - I have bought huge volumes in the past so have favourable terms...
Advice, farm energy centre went over all the costings with me, there was a hefty discrepancy between uponor and other products in price which confused me. I asked them to tell me how much it would cost in energy loss over 5 yrs to work if the extra £££ on purchase was worth it. I went with UPONOR (and have ever since) as a result of those findings. I am sure plenty will disagree but I trust FEC.
So it doesn't matter either way then as you'll have heat exchangers?Well time will tell. Most of my runs were closer to 100 m than 20
What relevance is that!?
You of all people should know that no two set ups are the same. In some cases yes, in others no.
1 price definitelyMy view on pipe consideration in order of priority;
1) price
2) heat loss
3) ease of use / cost of fittings
4) resistance.
The OP has not stated run length or what's going on each end of the pipe. Why have you brought PHX in to this?
Project outlay savings is not the only consideration as per my posts. You need to look at all aspects to decide.
What pipe would you recommend then for say 20m at 40mm twin and what £/m
Jeez no need to get angry. Tell me more about the project. What are you heating?What pipe would you recommend then for say 20m at 40mm twin and what £/m
