What plumbing system is this (and where can I order more parts)?

[demonboy]

The Thai marine plumbing system is not compatible with the UK system on our boat. Short of replumbing from the pump forwards my other option is to order parts from the UK. Can anyone tell me what system this is, if it's generic? Where is a good place to source the parts from? I need at least 10m of pipe, elbows and connectors. Frustratingly someone has helped themselves to my calipers so I can't give exact dimensions but the pipe appears to be around 1" (12cm approx). The third picture shows the washers/clips/inserts specific to these fittings.

If the pipes and fittings are as they appear in he photos to be dark brown then I would say original Acorn (Bartol). This was then taken on by Hep2o which is still avaliable.

They look very much like the domestic system I fitted at home. hep2O as CET1 says but other systems seem to be compatible. http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/en/plumbing/plastic-plumbing/hep2o-plastic-fittings/

Agree, looks like Acorn. Possibly the first push fit system useable on both copper and plastic. Needs metal inserts in plastic pipe though.
If the pipe looks like 1" it is presumably 22mm, that's the next standard up from the more common 15mm.
Personally I like Speedfit best of the current systems. http://www.jgspeedfit.com/Home/Products/Plumbing-Fittings.aspx

My apologies, I meant to write 1/2", not 1", which makes that the 15mm version.

Yes, they're dark brown and general consensus suggests it's the hep2o system, which seems to be widely available. Now I just need to find someone to ship to Malaysia.

Thanks, all.

... Now I just need to find someone to ship to Malaysia...

Which is ironic, as it is probably made in that general area.

Be warned that similar looking system parts are not necessarily compatible, don't mix them. I have some used fittings of the same type and could send you some.

Provided you've got the inserts, standard 15mm brass compression fittings work with that stuff too.

Not found a system which is not compatible yet. You need to read http://content.wavin.com/WAXUK.NSF/pages/Hep2O-Installer-Guide2-EN/$FILE/Hep2O_Installer_Guide.pdf. Cutting of the pipe is half the trick, hack saws generally don't work well as the cut is not clean enough use a proper pipe cutter.

That's very kind, thank you. I'm currently in conversation with a supplier who'll hopefully be able to get the whole lot over to me within a week or so.

These fittings are identical on my 1986 Fairline. I recently made some mods and used Hep2O or similar bog standard 15mm OD instant push fit fittings from B&Q (in the UK). I would expect these will be available elsewhere as well.
