Boiler pipe issue

[Kels]

Morning everyone.
Can anyone advise how to resolve this please?
The pipe split and flooded last week and we replaced it but it looks fit to go again.
We’ve drained it for now but wondering if anyone else has had this problem and can help us out please?
Thanks. Kelly

That doesn’t look like the correct pipe it should not be transparent, it means it’s not reinforced. I suggest you speak to Leisurelines.net who provide the correct pipe.

Looks like somebody pressed one of those entertainment balloons into a temporary service, I think it's going to be a tadpole? Definitely the wrong pipe on there,a bit of reinforced garden hose would give a better performance than the current pipe as a temporary fit.

Agree about the pipe but it is the cold fill, it shouldn't be under pressure and to balloon like that would suggest it is getting hot.
Has the thermostat on the boiler failed and it's getting far to hot and the heat being transferred to the pipe.

Yeah I wondered about the difference in pipe thickness but hadn’t considered it might be heating up. Thanks for the reply.

The normal pipe used in Caravans and motorhomes is 12mm semi-rigid, made of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Yours with the bubble does not look like the correct stuff as others have pointed out.
