Hi all,

I have a stove with back boiler that heats only the DHW, the water heats v quickly and the remaining hot water is dumped down the drain.

I have no footpaths down so I am planning to run half inch qualplex under the footpaths and bringing the extra hot water to a radiator in my sun room. I am planning to insulate the pipes using armourflex.

However my local builders merchants, whom I bought everything for my house are using a new product called Kflex which they highly reccommend.

Its also cheaper than armourflex. I'm just wondering has anyone any experience with the K flex and is it worth using?

My main hope is to hold heat and prevent the pipes freezing when the stove is not on.

Thanks
