Flexible water pipes

[Mike63]

Hello again...the last time I fit a bathroom suite was 25 years ago.
I recall having the devils own job connecting the copper pipes.
I see now that there are some flexible pipe / connectors.
I feel it would make the job a lot easier.
Is it adviseable to use these? are there different types?

any and all advice appreciated.

regards.....Mike

Nobody said that plumbing was easy.

They certainly make some installs easier, but one consideration is the fact that the rubber inside them is unlikely to last the 25 years that your previous bathroom did.

Use plastic pipe and pushfit connectors then......
