[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 156247, member: 250"] Re point 2/ It would appear your corrosion issue its not as serious as you claim:- From this artice... [URL="http://copper.org/applications/plumbing/techcorner/problem_embedding_copper_concrete.html"]http://copper.org/applications/plumbing/techcorner/problem_embedding_copper_concrete.html[/URL] Read this quote, 5th paragraph down:- Re point 3/ In the better quality installations carried out in a professional manner pipework IS concealed, cuz people don't like seeing all the nasty pipes and cables coming down into their nice shower cubicle in their nice posh bathrooms they have just paid thousands to refurbish! I would agree that with many of these modern cardboard box houses, with stud walls here-there-and-everywhere, pipes may well be in or through stud-work..... BUT there are an equal number of older properties or better built properties with solid proper brick walls which can just as easily have pipes embedded in the wall structure. I would also agree its stoopid to put a push-fit or compression joint in a non-accessible place... But a correctly made off solder joint is a very robust connection and can be concealed without any harmful effects! There is also some interesting reading in the Technical Guide download from your link [URL="http://www.yorkshirecopper.com/technical/yc_te_index.php"]http://www.yorkshirecopper.com/technical/yc_te_index.php[/URL] (the 8th one down) go to page 11 and cast you eye over paragraph 3.1.3 [/QUOTE]
