I then connected a hose to these plastic pipes and tried to blast flow through (from an external tap - starting at low flow and slowly increasing to max flow). What I noticed was that if I turned the thermastat down on my boiler it didn't 'kettle', so it only seemd to happen at higher temperatures.
