if you are looking at alternatives to copper try buteline.com.my - i use their system. it's very good so far. uses clamping system which is easy to check and use and the pipes can be easily repaired. hot water also no issue.

Hi brother/uncle,I need your advice here. I am planning to installed hot water storage tank with copper piping. But then my contractor's plumber told me that copper piping easily leaks due to compression fittings that they normally use. Then he recommended me PB pipes instead, which I guess the same material as you're using. Since your post is already 7 years, may I know how you hot water pipes is holding up now? Any problem encountered since you're using them? The alternatives given to me were PB or Aluminium. Both are cheaper than copper. I haven't done much research since I just get the "news" this evening. I would appreciate if you can give some feedback. Thanks. |

Pipes are flexible (easy to repair), no noise and have an immediate seal (once clamped they either leak right away or pretty much never). Best decision ever.
