An Unbeatable Selection Of Pipe & Tube

We pride ourselves on having everything covered when it comes to pipes and tubes. Our selection covers every type of installation, from traditional copper for heating and gas to lightweight plastics and multilayer systems for modern domestic use.

Copper Tubes & Pipes

Renowned for strength and longevity, copper tube remains a favourite among installers. BES stocks plain, chrome-plated and yellow plastic-coated copper pipes in a variety of diameters and lengths. All copper tubes meet standards and are suitable for potable water, central heating, and gas applications.

Stainless Steel Tubes & Fittings

Stainless steel pipework delivers high corrosion resistance and clean aesthetics, making it ideal for industrial and visible installations. Our range includes stainless steel tubes and flexible corrugated stainless tubes and matching compression or threaded fittings for easy, secure assembly. If there's a stainless-steel tube you need, we’ve got it!

Copper Coils

At BES, we stock copper coils manufactured to imperial and metric specifications. Our collection of copper coil includes metric, metric plastic-coated coated and imperial ranges - all precision manufactured for bending and installation flexibility. Copper coils are suitable in refrigeration, air conditioning and heating systems, offering smooth flow and tight-radius shaping.

Plastic Pipes & Tubes

Lightweight, easy to cut and simple to install, plastic pipes are a go-to for domestic and commercial plumbing systems. BES supplies trusted brands such as PolyPlumb, Hep₂O, Qual-PEX, PolyFit and JG Speedfit, with options for hot and cold water distribution, underfloor heating and general plumbing.

MDPE Pipes

A wide range of MDPE pipes suitable for underground services, natural gas and LPG is always in stock at BES. Our range includes gas, HPPE, barrier, and MDPE pipes - all manufactured to the relevant BS and EN standards.

Hoses

BES stocks each and every hose imaginable, from high-pressure LPG to garden hoses. We also stock clear PVC and clear reinforced PVC multi-use hose purge lines and condensate drain tubes.

Multi-Layer Pipes

At BES, we offer the Tectite flexible metal system, a new and unique way to fit pipes. Our range includes multilayer pipes, metal straight pipes, metal pipe coils and couplers.

Choosing The Right Pipe For Your Job

Different systems call for different pipes. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

• Copper pipes are best for high-pressure or high-temperature systems, such as heating and gas, as they have a long lifespan and are easy to form.

• Plastic / PEX / PB pipes are lightweight, corrosion-free, and perfect for fast domestic installations and underfloor heating.

• MDPE / HPPE pipes are ideal for underground or outdoor services supplying water or gas.

• Stainless-steel pipes have a clean finish, high strength and are corrosion resistant, making them suitable for exposed or industrial use.

• Multi-layer pipes (MLCP) combine the flexibility of plastic with the robustness of metal, reducing expansion and noise.

Installation Tips

• Cut pipes squarely and deburr edges for a tight, leak-free seal.

• Match materials carefully and use compatible fittings to prevent corrosion.

• Support pipework correctly with suitable clips or brackets.

• Test before closing up; always pressure-test systems before boxing or insulating.

• Use qualified installers for gas or unvented systems to meet UK regulations.

Pipes & Tubes FAQs

How do I choose between copper and plastic pipes?

Copper pipes are durable, heat-resistant and ideal for high-pressure or high-temperature systems like heating and gas. Plastic pipes, such as MDPE or PEX, are lightweight, corrosion-free, and faster to install, making them popular for domestic water systems.

Are BES pipes suitable for both hot and cold water?

Yes, our copper, plastic and multilayer pipes are suitable for both hot and cold water systems, provided installation follows the manufacturer’s temperature and pressure guidelines.

Do BES pipes comply with UK regulations?

Absolutely. Our copper, MDPE and plastic ranges all meet British Standards and WRAS approvals where required, ensuring suitability for potable water and heating systems.

What’s the difference between MDPE and HDPE pipe?

MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) offers more flexibility than HDPE, making it easier to handle for underground gas and water services while still maintaining strong pressure performance.

Can I bend copper or multilayer pipes?

Yes. Copper can be bent using a bending spring or machine; multilayer pipes can be shaped by hand within their recommended radius. Always follow the product’s technical data for minimum bend radius.

Are BES hoses suitable for gas?

Yes. BES stocks high-pressure LPG and natural gas hoses, designed specifically for catering, industrial or mobile gas applications. Always check the product listing for suitability.

What size pipes are available?

We stock standard diameters across copper, plastic, and stainless-steel ranges, typically from 8mm to 54mm for domestic and light commercial work, and larger diameters for specialist applications.

Can I get technical datasheets for your pipes?

Most product pages include key specifications, and our team can supply full technical or compliance data on request.
