New Plumbing

After cutting a new inspection panel with the multi-tool I managed to damage the old copper pipework which had been laid directly under the floorboard join as opposed to in the centre line making damage almost inevitable.

Re-plubing and soldering this in copper neatly was to be expensive and arduous due to the cramped and poorly planned layout so I decided to try plastic heating pipe.

This is made by a company called Speedfit and it's very cheap and user friendly, I really like the ability to manipulate the joints after fitting - I would thoroughly recommend it.

I did have to do a few solder and compression joins but thankfully I could prepare them on the bench and then fit the pipes in place afterwards.  Overalls it's a cracking job.
