Further to a previous post, I need to run a 22mm pipe from my cellar to my bathroom with a very twisty route. I originally planned on using plastic pipe and fittings but have been reading about 90 deg elbows reducing flow so am thinking about using copper pipe and hiring a stand mounted pipe bender.
First question, is the effect of using elbows that noticable? In about a 12m run I would need to use 7 elbows.
Secondly, if I hire a pipe bender, are these easy to use? Some of the bends will be quite difficult to form, including bending a pipe in two places in two different directions.
Grateful for any input.
