- Pipe And Inserts In One Order: A 22mm x 25m PEX barrier pipe coil plus 50 x 22mm pipe inserts, so the inserts your pushfit joints need arrive with the pipe
- 50 Inserts, One Per Pipe End: Push an insert fully into each cut pipe end before it goes into a pushfit fitting, supporting the pipe from inside so the joint stays secure
- WRAS Approved Pipe For Drinking Water: For hot and cold water services and central heating, made to BS 7291-3:2010 and EN ISO 15875
- Oxygen Barrier Layer: The multi-layer wall reduces oxygen ingress in central heating circuits, helping protect boilers, pumps and radiators from corrosion
- Flexible Alternative To Copper: The lightweight coil bends around corners and through tight spaces, so runs need fewer fittings and joints than rigid copper pipe
- Fits Standard UK Fittings: Works with standard UK pushfit and compression fittings, with printed 1m markings along the coil to help you measure and cut accurately
This LavaTap bundle puts a 22mm x 25m coil of white PEX barrier pipe and 50 x 22mm pipe inserts in one pack. It is for plumbers, heating engineers and DIY installers running new 22mm hot and cold water or central heating pipework. Inserts should be used whenever barrier pipe goes into a pushfit fitting, so having them with the pipe means the job is not held up waiting for a second order.
The pipe is cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) with an oxygen barrier layer that reduces oxygen ingress in central heating circuits, lowering the risk of corrosion and helping boilers, pumps and radiators last longer. It is WRAS approved for drinking water and meets BS 7291-3:2010 and EN ISO 15875. The smooth bore keeps flow steady with minimal pressure loss, the multi-layer wall resists kinks and abrasion, and printed 1m markings along the coil make measuring and cutting quick and accurate.
Each insert supports the pipe from the inside, keeping the joint secure and stopping the pipe deforming under pressure. Cut the pipe squarely with a plastic pipe cutter, deburr if needed, push an insert fully into the pipe end, then push the pipe into the fitting. The pipe works with standard UK pushfit and compression fittings. For indoor hot and cold water and heating pipe runs.
The lightweight coil is easier to route than rigid 22mm copper, bending around corners and through tight spaces so each run needs fewer fittings and joints.
In the box: 1 x 22mm x 25m PEX barrier pipe coil (white), 50 x 22mm pipe inserts (white).
Why ours: one order gets you the coil and the inserts its pushfit joints need, so first fix is not held up waiting on stiffeners. The 22mm inserts are made for PEX pipe, and the pipe is WRAS approved with printed metre markings.
