try some ribbed elictrical conduct pipe this will give a much nicer finish than stinky black tape and also after a few years of rain sun cold the glue in the tape will degrade and you risk the black tape unravelling...my boss likes to use the pipe lagging but i think the conduit looks a shit load better...just more expensive to buy from a shop so ask a sparky mate and you should be able to get it at a realistic price.

thanks thunderhead, great idea, by ribbed you mean that flexible pipe, that looks like a dishwasher drain hose? but its white?

The stuff i am talking about is black and most commonly used as exterior conduit...But of course robbo knows the best product to use as it is formulated to go with k1 and if you use there product for there pipe and run into any quality issues in the future then they must stand by there product as using another product with there pipe could be an out clause for them if any warrintie issues may arrise.

and of course you will pay a premium for the privilege to use it also...

why can't they just make one that complies, or is that just too much to ask??

if they did that badger they wouldnt be able to sell you the conduit!!     

what I'd like to know is can you use the black k1 clips over the conduit once its over the pipe, say if you were clipping the pipe from a lpg reg to a inst water heater on a wall??? maybe you use the next bigger clip size? yeah I would never have found this great info out if I didnt ask, thanks guys!
