Please tell me where I can get the plastic pipes for a new water supply line. Plumbing wholesalers don’t sell to private individuals. At Hornbach, they only have copper pipes, which I don’t want. I also need the system for connecting the pipes. How does that work? I look forward to a knowledgeable answer.

What I find impressive about these plastic pipes is that they are easier to connect than copper pipes. Copper pipes usually last a long time, but the soldered joints often do not. Plastic pipes can be glued together effectively.

What excites me about this plastic pipe is that it is easier to join than copper pipes. Copper pipes generally last a long time, but the soldered joints often don’t. Plastic pipes can be bonded very well.

Wouldn't a simple answer have sufficed this time?

Hello Kaffeebart,

I only see one reply, what do you see?

Sometimes there are technical issues with the server, so this can happen occasionally.

Back to the topic. We use only PE pipes for both drinking water and drainage.

Posts 7 and 8 by Bastian were meant. 😉

And I agree with you; for drinking water, I would also choose PE.
It is easy to handle and, depending on personal preference, has a lower chance of absorbing contaminants.

That’s true, and it’s redundant. We now use only plastic pipes, which are easy to work with. The era of copper pipes for drinking water lines is simply over.
