And inaba slimduct & joints look kinda professional...

you can see the normal Insuflex already looks like bitten.

it's always good to put a piece of cardboard above the holes the pipes passes tru when pulling to minimize rubbing of insulator against sharp edge on drilled holes. if not even Parcoil insulator will get damaged.

The AC drainage pipes follow the Inaba Denko to the outside or terminate in the bath room/toilet?

If it follow the Paircoil outside, it needs to be insulated and then sloped adequately for proper drainage.
Ok, I see it. They are insulated as shown in the pic above. Good stuff. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

For added peace of mind, wrap the exposed Paircoil and Neodrain pipe with an extra PU jacket but ensure that the excess is inside the slim duct and the exposed piping slant downwards from the wall.
*
All drain pipes will be directed to external except one which will be concealed to the nearest drain hole as shown in picture. All exposed paircoil will be wrapped with inaba adhesive tape as advised by the seller, some will be wrapped with UV tape too.

how long is your total pipe run? all 1hp pipe? 4.5k include pipe cost or just installation?

those slimducts cost alot IIRC.
*
I bought total 30M.
One 1/4” x 5/8” (0.61mm x 0.81mm) for 2.5HP
One 1/4” x 3/8” (0.61mm) for 1HP
Another four 1/4” x 1/2” (0.8mm x 0.8mm) for 1~1.5HP

Slimduct is expensive.
If you need I may sell to you cause I will have balance. Self collect. Hehe...

rm600 is about right. but depends how much hacking involved coz that takes most time & effort. Pulling is actually the easy part. and whether include patching back the walls because that also takes few days to complete.
*
My quote inclusive hacking & plastering, 2.5mm mega, class 6 drain pipe.

RM3.5K for 7 units, concealed, normal copper, insulate together using insulflex.

RM4.2K for 7 units, ducting, paircoil, 2.5hp not using paircoil but insulate individually.

Turn out I bought material, 6 units.
RM1.6K all paircoil. Labor yet to confirm, at the range of RM1.5K+/-.

so rm4.2k includes all materials & labor. so 4.2k-1.6k labor is 2.6k so 6 or 7 unit is around rm370-rm400.

or it only cost you rm3.1k for everything?

price quite good. usually loop socket already cost rm90. the time taken to hack a hole for the socket already more than 1 hour depending type of wall.

that 20A running 2.5mm is for what use? hope not water heater.

hmm so do you plan to replace the tiles?

if you aren't using UV parcoils i think you should add an Insuflex on top of the Inaba tapes. I though you used UV ones.

hah sorry couldn't see where the thickness is written.

rm1.6k for 30M quite expensive. almost twice the price if you bought 20M. can sell off the surplus to members here. i got some surplus for 1hp & 1.5hp.

strange part is the 1.5hp box stated clearly UV, but the 1hp doesn't state. the 1hp insulators are slightly greyish while 1.5hp ones are white. your's is grey or white?

the 20A is MCB or switch? coz sockets only come 13A or 15A normally. or you mean 2.5mm2 wires to 13A sockets using 20A MCB?

so not using electrical hob & oven? having the wires & switches ready is good for future proof.

rm3.1k quite cheap. if use outside contractors price is rm200-250 for 10ft at the end same cost as yours but only get normal pipe. might even cost more as they probably don't include hacking, patching & new drain pipes.

Bought from KL. I have yet to meet my contractor face to face since he started installation.

Inaba denko definitely costs higher compare to normal type. 7 units, about RM3.5K for concealed piping with normal copper insulated together, RM4.2K for paircoil non concealed.
*
Actually what's the benefit of paircoil compared to the traditional ?
