I've finally decided to enter the 21st century and give microbore copper tube a go for some radiators I need to install.
I've just run a couple of lengths of the stuff roughly in place, between radiator and supply/feed pipes below the floorboards which has involved some bending around curves etc; next I need to cut off the free ends to the exact length before connecting them to the rad/pipework. (I'm using 15-10mm reducers in the TRVs/LSVs, ie compression fittings; and 15-10mm Yorkshire fittings to the pipework).
Now clearly this stuff deforms extremely easily, but I'm mindful that I need a perfectly circular section at the tips or my joints won't work. I've bought one of these gizmos so it will cut cleanly:
Would welcome input from anyone who's experienced with the stuff!
