Well you are the only person who can understand your muttering most of the time, so I suppose you do have a point....

But the original question was "Is there any preference between straight cut ( |_| ) or 'U' shape notches ?". The U shape will be stronger so would be preferable even if the regs don't require it.

Exactly. You are an inferior level.

Aha, realisation dawns...
If you think about it there are plenty of other "only exceptions" as well. Cases where flexible pipe is going to be a better solution:
The pipe run is near a wall, but the wall itself is supported on the middle of the span of the joists.
The building was constructed with those composite light weight joists that you are such a fan of, you can't notch them either.
Also situations where there is insufficent joist height evailable.
Or where there are multiple height joists in sequence - alternately supporting a floor and a non connected ceiling in the room below (as would be typical in a loft conversion for example).
Unless faced with one of the many exceptions off course....
So given the task of sticking a 22mm run of pipe across a series of (un-notchable) joists at 400mm spacing, how are *you* going to install it without using lots of short sections of pipe?

In 90% plus of installations copper is better and feasible. You making out anomalies are the norm.

ISTR Adam recommending drilling the holes in line, then removing part of the outside wall for access so a length of copper tube could be slid in. Said it was common practice with heating professionals.

Very good 10/10. Some have been known to have removed the odd brick to do this. Or drill through as the exterior was to be rendered anyhow.
