Is This Pipe Reef Safe?

[Stu1210]

I am planning on custom biult spray bar (not the greatest DIY project ever)

what i am aiming for is direct flow and more surface agitation, so i'll be position the holes to my own spec....

I found that soem JG Speedfit BARRIER PE-X pipe (To BS7291-3 :2006) fits onto my Maxijet 1200 powerhead perfectly...

is this going to be safe for use in the tank?...

Any replies much appreciated...

Whats the material its made out of? If its synthetic (plastic, PVC, carbon fiber, etc) it should be fine. If its metal, the only reef-safe metal is exceptionally high quality stainless steel

It's a multi layer plastic... Not sure of the exact material spec but definately no metals...

it's used in domestic plumbing as it has really good thermal properties so i'm guessing it can't be too bad...

i have mailed John Guest to ask them but i doubt they will be able to anser me...

Ok, had a reply back about the pipe work from John Guest...

************************************************** *******DDear Mr Nixon,
Thank you for your e-mail. Our 'BPEX' pipe and fittings are approved under WRAS for the supply of mains drinking water for human consumption. So will be perfectly ok for a marine fish tank plumbing system using either fresh or salt water.
