Flexigas vs Tracpipe: Comparing Two Leading Brands of CSST

Flexigas vs Tracpipe: Comparing the two leading brands of CSST

What is CSST

Corrugated stainless-steel tubing (CSST) is an alternative to copper pipe. It can be installed as a single run of tubing, reducing the need for a high number of joints that you might need using copper pipe. Compared to copper, where a gas leak could potentially occur at any of the joints made every 3 metres, CSST is by far the safer option when it comes to gas pipe installations. Connecting copper piping can also be time consuming due to all the joints required in any given project.

Flexigas vs Tracpipe

Flexigas entered the UK market in 2016 and have had one primary aim.
