As opposed to chrome plated pipe has anyone any experience with stainless steel pipe, 15mm.
Basically I need to connect a rad & the customer wants stainless steel as it’s on show. No problems.
What’s the crack with bending it & soldering it? Or is it strictly compression which won’t be a big issue as I’ll make you the joint is in the cupboard.
Cheers all

I’ve just been reading SS isn’t for potable water so I’m taking it heating pipe is ok.
I’ve only ever seen it in pub toilets!!
Interesting

We fitted SS tube in 1977-78 when there was a copper shortage, 15mm bent OK, but 22mm was a cunt to bend - but you could do it.
All compression fitting👍

I say no to jobs when it's s/s. It's not worth doing unless you can charge premium for it. It's a ballache.
