If you asking such basic questions, I does leave me thinking...
1. you have no idea what your doing
2. as above.
My advise to you would be....
put your new pipe bender down... research copper (x&y tables) and then post a serious question.
Its not a boys toy, and if you want one buy a PS2

Hey i thought this was a DIY forum not a forum for the technical copper profs amonst us.
obsiouly you are or think you are a profesional.
Or it might be in your case = a little knowledge is dangerous.
Why would i have to research copper.
All i am asking is the pipe to thin two bend or do I have to use elbows, that,s compression ones prof.
With an olive, ooh getting technical
and i could also use ptfe tape ( thats plastic tape for engineers!!) with them.

Where did you get the pipe from?
What standard is it?
You don't use compression fittings in lieu of getting the correct pipework for the job.
No it is not It is PTFE And you don't use that in compression joints
I think you have too much to learn before you should attempt to install pipework.[/quote]

Why are you all giving the OP such a hard time? All he want's to do is to bend some copper tube, fer chrissakes!
The answer is that it will be table X and you can bend it. If it was too thin it would snap in the bending machine (so you'd soon find out anyway).

Well, lots of DIYers do, and what on earth is wrong with that?noonespecial said:You don't use compression fittings in lieu of getting the correct pipework for the job.
Really? Why not? Perhaps you don't use it, but that doesn't make it wrong, so why do you imply that there is a general rule when there's no such thing? Perhaps to maintain some ridiculous clique of which you think you are a part?noonespecial said:...PTFE
I disagree - the guy is willing to learn, has come to the right place (although receive many unhelpful replies), and, with some experimentation, there's no reason why he can't make a start. We all began somewhere...noonespecial said:
Oy, enough with the jibes matey. You asked a technical question and got a technical answer. Leaving aside some of the more pompous posts on this topic, if you're in some way dissatisfied with the result then there's a technical action that you can take.f49h said:WhooooHooooo
Cheers Chris for the answer, thats all I want to know.
Geezo it gets too technical in here.
Have to change the forum to,"look at me i am technical, forum"
I think I'll move to Cuba
