Hi,
I'm in the process of replacing the 15mm chrome piping for our existing thermostatic shower (due to it being too low for our new taps!!).
Anyway made the first one no probs (90deg bend + a 30deg jog bend), but for some reason every time I try to bend the 2nd tube at 90deg it kinks !!! Tried it 3 times before running out of tube. Every time it kinked....
Like I said, didn't have this problem with the first tube.
I'm using a pipe bender and the tube is chrome plated copper. The only thing I can think is the length of tubing I'm using for the 2nd run is flawed in some way.
Can anyone help???
Many Thanks
