Flexigas: A New Standard in Gas Installations — Available at GetPlumb

In an industry long dominated by copper, Flexigas represents a quiet revolution. Its corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) reduces installation times, enhances safety, and sets a new benchmark for reliability. At GetPlumb, we supply the full Flexigas range to trade professionals and domestic installers alike.

Faster, cleaner installations

Unlike rigid copper, which requires cutting, bending and soldering, Flexigas can be routed through buildings with minimal fittings. On typical projects the time saving can be substantial—often quoted as up to 75% faster.

“Flexigas reduces labour costs without diminishing safety — an increasingly rare combination in modern construction.”

Reliability and safety

Patented fittings form a metal-to-metal seal, avoiding gaskets or plastics that can degrade over time. Components are Kite-marked and compliant with BS EN 15266.
