good evening all.i was just wondering if anybody else has got one of these.i've got a little gripe with it thats all.15mm pipe bends no problemo but with 22 ive always got to anneal to bend but never have the same problem with a hilmor.do i need to eat more spinach or does anybody think the same?it only cost £24.95 so i think i got a fairly good deal(hilmor£40 odd i think).cheers for anybodies opinion :) :wink:
 
May be the 22mm pipe you've got has been manufactured at a slightly lower temperature than the 15mm pipe? i.e. May be from a difference manufacturer, and harder to bend. I've noticed that older copper pipe has a greater wall thickness to what you get now, so may be that's another manufacturing variation that's making your current 22mm pipe more difficult. I've got a Hilmor and 22mm works fine (more effort required than 15mm, but nothing a real man can't handle :lol: )
