Review for Uponor MLCP Press Fit Sytem by G cope heating

Have used this system to plumb my whole house. The pipe being 16mm is a little annoying as they dont fit in standard clips, and the talons only come in a quantity of 1000. However, the system is solid when fitted correctly, a little prior planning is necessary when trying to crimp in a difficult position or small access area. However the metal fittings are well made as are the plastic. The cost is a factor, but as the pipe comes in 100m+ coils, you should be able to use significantly less. Very tidy system. Impermeable aluminium layer therefore no oxygen absorption as with other plastic systems, i urge those who only use copper to try it, certainly the best of both worlds. Tooling costs will be recovered in no time!

We mainly use MLCP and it covers heating, cold, hot and ufh all in one pipe system. It’s great for bore hole pipework and we use it in plant rooms also, the pipes cheap and we haven’t had a problem to date. (We have installed 21miles of pipe to date and 1000s of fittings there is a reason they use this on the continent)

Really good stuff to use if and when you get the hang of it. Don’t be shy and really man handle it to get it into place and ready to crimp.

I've been on called to a number of callout in the last 12 months where this mlcp has been fitted. It always leaks around the fittings from my experience, this might be down to installer error but it does raise questions.
The pipe and fittings are rarely stocked on the shelf in my local merchants and fittings and adaptors are expensive along with having to hire out equipment
