I'm doing a fair bit of work on the bathroom, later there'll be some CH to do.

In the process I'm generating a fair bit of scrap copper pipe, especially bendy jointy stuff.

Is there any reason I shouldn't just reuse this? Sometimes it might make something a fair bit easier - e.g. I've got an 'old' T junction all soldered up and ready to go so don't need to support a complicated set of Ts and elbows.

It's all 15mm Yorkshire jointed type stuff. I know I'd have to flush it thoroughly if it was going to go on potable supplies. And clean it thoroughly before attempting to solder, obviously.
