yes wol rats and other rodents can knaw through it, before i came out to oz i got sent to a house which had a leak,it turned out mice had nibbled through the hep 20 pipe under the conservatory floor .But believe me mate it is far easier to use plastic here than copper brazing and expanding can be a nightmare:curse:

I came over from dundee scotland in january and have 20 yrs exp as a time served plumber / gasfitter and was always taught that if you would not exept it in your own house them why should anyone else have to exept it and always tried to take great pride in my work as you ae only as good as your last job as the saying goes , anyway yes the are rough as guts and dated with methods and systems but they do honestly believe that they are leaving a good quality job and are the best at every thing and all winge about how hard they have to work , i laugh and say try working in below zero and do all your own labouring and patch ing aswell them tell mee but its their country but i still have my standards !!! there thats what i think
