Exactly. Copper is quicker and a proper pro job. Plastic is for the toybox.

Well the regs can't override the laws of mechanics. A round corner will present a much lower stress concentration factor than a sharp one (but the reduction may well be less in fibrous wood than in a homogeneous material like steel). So it will make a difference, as a smoothly shaped "U" could be stronger. But you can't take advantage of the extra strength and go deeper since the regs make no allowance for it.

How do you figure copper will be quicker?
When you have to traverse several joists (and circumstances dictate that you can't notch the joists or even place all the holes through the joists inline), copper would be a nightmare! You would have to assemble a pipe run from lots of short segments joined together - very time consuming with lots of under floor joints.

I have done both. Most pros will tell you plastic is no quicker than copper. Also there is the time top replace the defective joints after testing. They don't like it.
The runs are always near walls.
No one does what you said.

He never mentioned the regs. But structurally, a U shape will be stronger. Read the famous 'Structures' book...

Sigh..... So I think we do need to get you the Maplin toolkit. Do you want it in your stocking or for under the tree?
The Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise will give you the rates if you ask. It's also on their web site, so I imagine that your built in search engine would find them easily enough.
