Hi all, My bathroom water pipe leaking internally so have to hack the wall and replace new one.. Was thinking any other solid materials beside those grey colored pipe which tends to break after some years?
Is there anyone who uses ss piping / aluminium piping and conceal them for long lasting use?

QUOTE(mini orchard @ Oct 4 2022, 09:32 AM) PVC pipe seldom leak if concealed in the wall. Probably due to poor joints glueing or ground movement. If you are replacing only the bathroom area, use the same. If is the entire house, there are few types depending on budget. intend to use for bathroom only for this moment.. planning to re-run the whole bathroom with new conceal piping instead of replacing just the leaking area.. any recommendations for long lasting materials?

QUOTE(BrunoMalaya @ Oct 6 2022, 01:48 AM) HDPE pipes because they are used out in the open and are proven to be resilient. [attachmentid=11271967] these pipes good for conceal? I worried it will not last as my bathroom is powered with water pump as well..

I think hardly any contractor out there who will be using these kind of pipes.. most that I came across are those that uses pvc and those black ones..
I don't mind paying extra for those hdpe if they are long lasting in concealed setup.. do share me contacts if there are those who willing to use these pipes..
the usual black pipes I saw them use doesn't have these kind of connectors as showed by @stormer.lyn
