PLASTIC PLUMBING PIPE SYSTEMS - Meet Buteline

Today we have a look at Plastic Plumbing Pipe Systems and in particular, Buteline. They make a polybutyl pipe with a clamp system that I've installed extensively. We'll talk about the barrier pipe and it's strengths/sizes, we'll rate it vs copper pipe, PEX pipe and CPVC. We'll talk about the clamp system and also get to learn a little bit about where Buteline are going. Feel free to ask them questions in the comments below.

Not bad this video is almost 4 years old and I've only just discovered Buteline due to Loving Plumbing's YT channel. This gives me another option other than Uponor Pex (which honestly I love that it's colour coded (red/blue/white - hot/cold/heating) and press fitting copper.

[@ellaking797]

Been using Buteline in NZ for 30 years (as a builder, not a plumber) and love it. Never had a fitting fail, cost effective, quick, looks so much better than push fit. A plumber mate told it had pepper it it to stop rats chewing it.

[@bluenapalm123]

Seriously... i drive about my home town randomly shouting "hold tiiiight".. Really good direction to take the channel. You'll move onto some really big big things in this direction. I know everyone has different opinions but I would have liked to have seen a Buteline overview earlier in the video. Stuff at 05:51 should have come a bit sooner as an overview. Maybe start with an early interview question with "So, what is it that Buteline do?" Also, some B Roll images or small clips show casing their product. Would have liked to have seen how you replace a crimped connector. Excellent step up in the channel. Hold tiiiiiight.

[@pauljohnson227]

Using Buteline in NZ but prefer Dux the fittings are brass with copper rings instead of plastic and aluminium heaps of different fittings and its quick and easy to work with great video keep up the good work

[@Gixer750pilot]

Just having a coffee at south mimms services watching your this . You can’t be far away

[@TheChiefCoin]

Binge watching plumberparts. Magnetic personality of the host.

[@ChrisCowley1]

These videos are a nice idea mate. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't generally go to trade shows -- the idea of taking a day off work, and driving up to the NEC or ExCeL, unpaid, to be sold to, just doesn't do it for me at all. Vids like this are a good way of getting an idea of newer products and making an informed decision on whether to invest in new kit to try them out, etc.

[@ownyourworld]

I’ve just been using this on a refit of a house and it seems good

[@jasonhilton5005]

Bute lines big over here in Australia mate

[@palamidi13]

YOU ARE INCREDIBLE PLUMBER!!

[@getbry7452]

Thanks for taking the time to putting this video together. Great to see some of the new Bute developments. Thought we might get to see the shower valve fixing kit I've seen on KZbin. I still want to start using it but just haven't found the opportunity because copper is so much more accessible. And I like the challenge of using rigid pipework and pipe benders etc.

[@butelinenorthlondon6907]

The Bute1 fixing is just having the final adjustments made for the UK 🇬🇧👍

Turn on the live chat tab if you're on mobile!

[@brianthetrain9283]

Good luck with your product , like the compactness of it

[@jimmyman8031]

Is this pipe impermeable like uponor or permeable like polyplumb pipe?

[@chriscarless101]

Strap Right Back, hey love your videos. Question for you... I’ve got an old primatic system in the house and need to change the bath, loo, basin etc. Can I turn the cold feed off and bung the outlet in the tank up in the loft to stop the cylinder refilling, drain off some hot water via the taps so the level in the in the cylinder drops a little so I can disconnect the bath etc? Or am I talking shite and the cylinder will implode!! Hold Tight

[@joshuagregory232]

I am building a cell converted camper van and I am looking to do my plumbing in this product. What is it like to hold up against Vibrations as I would be moving around?

[@runforrestrun1965]

What connector would you need to connect existing 16mm rehau pex to buteline pipe? Is there a joiner for going from one pipe type to another? Ta

[@H_o_g_a_n]

nice idea bro

[@evangelostsiamalos8399]

Do the heads fit on any other crimpers like geberit?

[@Messimagician83]

If i run the pipe horizontal what is the maximum run before it needs support ?

[@butelinenorthlondon6907]

600mm, 700mm, 800mm depending on pipe size, 1200mm 1400mm 1600mm on verticals 👍

[@RailsandSky]

What is the video camera on the table at the beginning.

[@SuperWayneyb]

Can this be used on a secondary hot water return pipe folks?

[@Sash_Window]

Can you install BL on a secondary return system?

[@butelinenorthlondon6907]

In most systems it can be, head over to our website www.buteline.co.uk and download the install manual which has a flow diagram in the back to explain this 👍

[@jackgsebolier986]

Is there a yes or no answer to this question or can you share the link to the exact download?

[@Sash_Window]

Exactly!@@jackgsebolier986

[@Sash_Window]

I would just like a definitive answer if BL can be used on a secondary return running 24 hrs a day 365 days of the year.@@butelinenorthlondon6907

[@AndyNichol]

SPeedfit or this stuff ?

[@butelinenorthlondon6907]

Bute all the way 👍

[@pb9926]

Speedfit it's more versatile

[@simonharding1572]

[@kenboon1478]

What's the difference between a strap boss and a strap on ?

[@seanjay886]

What’s the songs in background? @plumberparts

[@markcroft3619]

do they do it in blue and red along with the grey

[@Gixer750pilot]

Mark Croft I thought the same . Why not make it available with a blue or red line down the side

[@bishmayoung]

I would like to be a rep in lithuania if there is an opening for one.

[@skillcape6me]

I dont know about this, im used to the uponor system and really havent found a better product then that, but maybe uponor is not avaiable in england idk

[@joetorti4942]

I'm from Canada, and have been using Uponor too. Where are you using Uponor?

[@skillcape6me]

joe torti in the netherlands

[@H_o_g_a_n]

i would love Uponor to be distributed in NZ but sadly the North Shore agent did not respond by phone or email last year and now they have just disappeared off the net (for NZ). it all seems to be bute, PEX & copper in that order over here. for now i am using Kembla PEX, which i have integrated in my Frankenstein plumbing mix of copper, buteline & now PEX for my house. i just wish they had colour coding for cold (blue) and hot (red) piping. Uponor does coloured pipes as well as options for ceiling extinguishers which i really really like.

[@moodogtizer5884]

What happened to the Halloween video fella ??

[@amnanbazli]

U did not mentioned in your video Buteline also make fittings for Polyethylene pipes (PE80). I was planning to get the crimp for Buteline pipes PB-1 but bought the wrong one and could not return it. Ive been using buteline fittings for PE80 pipes for a few months and i never need to fix any work the second time.

[@plumberparts]

Good shout bro!

[@Gixer750pilot]

Coming from a trade background, I hope Luke isn’t offended with such salubrious surroundings, fine China and soft furnishings.

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

Hope this is not the same as the Pb pipe in America with the $1billion class action , for always leaking.

[@SuperWayneyb]

👍🤓👍🍰

[@m402363]

how do you stop rats chewing plastic pipes!

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

in 1980s in USA buteline pipes were the hit too, and now they are the nr. 1 failing plumbing application in older homes at the moment, who has that pipe. And now UK is doping the same thing. What worries me is - the same grey thin pipe. It looks excatly the same as the one that was used in USA. I hopoe it is not the same thing, because. . . Oh My God!

[@drewstylesplumbingheating7359]

Jerks

[@mikebarron4929]

Guys the only thing is, does this buteline stand up to rodents as most of the other alternatives suffer from mice etc eating through either pipe or fittings

[@butelinenorthlondon6907]

If they are hungry they will eat anything 👍

[@evelyn367]

would be better if they could recycle old plastics to make this . we have no room for more plastic
