Title: Water pipes, plumbing pipes......help
Post by: Calou on March 17, 2008, 09:32

I know someone out there will have the answer to this so please could they help me? lol
I want to buy some of those plastic plumbing tubes (the ones that bend into curve shapes, the trouble is I don't know the name for them, water tubes, flexi tubes, bendy pipes??? I'd feel a bit of a muppet not knowing the correct name for them when I go into the shop.  :?

I got mine in Jewsons. You just have to swan in casually and take no notice of the fact that you are the only woman in there. The blokes will then be very helpful and only a bit patronising.
When you are driving out of the gate the person there is not just making polite conversation, he just wants to see your docket.

Screwfix are one of the cheapest I've seen online.

Silly question now.... Is there a preferred size to use between the 25mm or 32mm? :oops:

Find a housing development that is coming to an end and you will get given rolls of the stuff, I literally mean rolls of it.  I have probably had 1000-1500 metres of the stuff in rolls from 5m to 50m  :lol:  :lol:
