The FloPlast FloFit+ Easy-Lay pipe is an ideal solution for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, flexible alternative to copper for residential hot and cold water distribution. Its primary benefit lies in its five-layer polybutylene construction, which allows for effortless routing through tight joists and confined spaces while remaining resistant to corrosion and scale. While it offers superior ease of installation, users should note that it requires specific compatibility with push-fit fittings to ensure a leak-proof seal compared to traditional soldering methods.

Yes, provided the system temperature remains within the rated limit of 82 degrees Celsius.
It is designed for use with FloFit+ push-fit fittings; consult the manufacturer if mixing with other branded systems.
Yes, a pipe insert must be used to maintain the roundness of the pipe and ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
No, polybutylene pipe is not UV-stabilized and should be protected from direct sunlight.
Use a sharp, professional-grade plastic pipe cutter to ensure a square, clean cut without damaging the pipe wall.
It is not necessary to paint the pipe, and you should avoid using solvent-based paints that may react with the plastic.
Check that the pipe end is cut square and has no burrs. Ensure the pipe is not ovalized from being coiled tightly.
Remove the pipe, check that the pipe insert is correctly positioned, and inspect the O-ring inside the fitting for damage or debris.
Increase the number of support clips along the horizontal run to meet the required spacing intervals.
For installation, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and squarely using a dedicated pipe cutter to prevent damage to the internal O-rings of your push-fit fittings. When inserting into a fitting, ensure the pipe is pushed in until it meets the internal stop. It is recommended to use pipe clips at regular intervals—typically every 500mm for horizontal runs—to prevent sagging over time as the plastic may soften slightly when transporting hot water. Keep the pipe away from heat sources such as boilers or flues, and avoid using any solvent-based sealants on the exterior, as these may damage the polybutylene surface.
