The only one I do on chrome pipe is to not used pushfit fittings on chrome pipe, they'll blow off because the grip ring cannot grip on the chrome, There's not much else to it really,use chrome elbows and coupling and use paste on the joints because the olives also have trouble gripping too, Anyway nice to see you over here handy jack,  |

Brass olives if using compression, no pushfit and you need to sand the chrome off down to the copper if you're soldering it. Don't bend it cold or the chrome can crack. All I can think of at the mo  |

I hate working with chrome pipe , i remember back in the seventies there was a copper shortage and we had to use stainless steel pipes and that was just as bad........  |
