Hi everyone,
I am about to connect a chrome plated towel rail in my bathroom to my CH, and I've got a couple of 300mm lengths of 15mm chrome plated copper tubes to run from the towel rail through the floorboards. I'm not too sure about a couple of things though:
1. Can I use my usual pre-soldered fittings to join the chrome plated tubes to the standard CH copper tubes?
2. And can I bend the chrome plated copper tubes (slightly - I only need a small bend)? I've heard the chrome plating might crack, but does this cause any problems other than looking a bit of a mess (I can bend them under the floorboards, so the mess should be out of sight and mind)
Thanks for any help you can give - especially if it saves me getting grumpy at the weekend and having to make an extra trip to B&Q
Cheers,
R1
