If you are hiding the pipes to the shower etc, in the walls, then make sure they are clipped in place or they will clatter when under pressure. This saves me going back to fix drips!!! newest building regs demand extractor fan. one other tip, for all mechanical fittings (ie has a thread, whether compression with an olive, or with fiber washer) then apply jet blue (or other potable water jointing paste) to the area which will make the seal. Another good reason to use isolating valves is you can test everyting upto the valve before you bury it in the wall. Lever are better as the brass in gate valves perish over time.

if you are having a shower then you will want full bore 1/4 turn lever valves or gate valves. it's best that they are the last fitting before the appliance. (gives you the ability to sqare up those walls, you'll love that when you come to do the tiling) There are no regs about burying hot cold or heating in walls, just gas! However isolating valves are required. If you don't want to chase out too much you can nail clip the pipes to the wall and dot and dab new plasteboard. Remember insert sleeves on all plastic pipe ends. if you are coming out of the the wall in crome plated copper (looks ace on towel rails) then use compression fittings as the crome plate is so hard that pushfit style fittings won't bite in to the pipe like on copper and plastic. buy a 25m roll rather than lengths so you can cut to size and not join. In my experience it is fittings that leak, not pipes! and personally i use plastic pipe. Also try to keep joints to a minimum in the wall. it is best to keep your runs verticle.as you are fitting the bathroom, use common sense in planning where you will have to fit things after. don't try and brake through into the cavity. Hi, you can chase the pipes into the wall. Please give advice I will be appreciative Should I use same pipes for radiator? Could you advice me if there is any building regulation based on this subject? I want my bathroom to be perfect and want it to serve me well for another 15 years, Im going to spend a lot on it and I don't want to be surprised by additional costs in the future. Do you think my concern is basless? If yes should I order copper pipes or plastick pipes. I think those walls were not propely insulated and I'm a bit afraid about hiding pipes in there, because when winter comes, frost may breake pipes and in consequence my house can be seriously damaged. The bathroom is in extended part of house so some bathroom walls are outside walls at the same time. There is going to be a lot of moving things around and plumbing
