I've used a lot of this on industrial projects in the past and it's great stuff. They do domestic sizes too. Beware though it's expensive but you have to think of the bigger picture in the long run regarding heat loss and efficiency. If you are serious about this then fair play to you, most people doing this would give you two fingers if you even suggested this type of pipe.

Qualpex do a similar pipe which standard irish fittings connect to. Calpex fittings are very pricey. Qualpex pipe loses 1C over 50m. I have used both and both do an equally good job.

just off phone from hevac going to see product tomorrow morning. they give you a fitting for end that also has male fitting to place you standard pipe fittings on. i need about 20meter so not too much might be able to sustain the cost for long run savings thanks for replies

Does that include the 4 fittings as they are normally priced at about €25 each. I get qualpex for about €20 + vat per meter and standard inch fittings at about €5 each.
