I bought what I thought was chrome plated copper pipe (15mm) from screwfix to use with a radiator.
I used an emery cloth on one end of the pipe to remove the chrome plating and expected to find copper pipe underneath.
At first, copper appeared but then that started disappearing and beneath that was what appears to be brass.
It looks like the pipe is brass plated in copper and then plated in chrome.
So my question is, what fittings are safe to use with this brass pipe?
Will compression work (brass olive)?
Will push fit work?
Will solder joints work?
