I want to run the radiator pipes work in the chase that ive cut in the partition wall. See pic

My first approach was to cut the 10 mm pipe where it runs straight along the back wall behind the stack( covered with plastic bag).
solder in some 15mm adaptors and elbows in order to route the pipe into and along the chase.

However im not sure how much the flow rate is affected by adding elbows

So im wondering if i might get away with trying to bend the already curved part back a bit to make it fit into the chase and then use straight 15 mm adaptors hence reducing the about of elbow needed.

Any thoughts on what you guys would do?

By the way the pipe covered by the blue sheath is 10mm

Why are you introducing 15 mm ? Why not just cut into the 10 mm on the straight sections and continue to the rad valves ?
 
I was replacing like for like.... The existing setup has 10 to 15mm adaptors. (See the white painted pipes. Thats all 15 mm)
I guess I could always just extend the 10mm
Just don't like working with the microbore stuff that's all

There is no difference /real benefit introducing 15 mm sections onto 10 mm pipe runs to your rad ,but do so if you wish to.
