Heating pipework incorporates an arrangement of pipes used to transport liquid – mainly water – to heating devices such as home radiators or heated towel rails.
There are several designs of heating pipework, with modern homes tending to favour a two-pipe feed and return loop system to supply their heating components with hot water.
The pipes themselves are constructed from a range of materials, each boasting their own specific benefits. There’s plastic pipework as well as copper, concrete, aluminium, fibreglass and wood. Discover more in our Ultimate Guide To Plastic Pipework.
