A system for flushing water pipes, typically pipes that lead to a tap or similar outlet, is disclosed. By guiding water to flow along an inner pipe, that is inserted from a first point into a down-stream portion, through to a second point of the pipe to be flushed, then a "dead leg" portion of pipework can be flushed that is often missed by prior art flushing systems. The second point may be in the outlet itself, leading to a full flush of the dead leg portion. The system may comprise also of an automatic valve, which may be operated remotely, and may be used in conjunction with prior art flushing systems, or may be used independently.
