Hi Steve,

Seeing as i dont see any oxy torch marks on the copper, i dont think it was the spring type pipe bender, i am guessing its the two pully type benders that hold the pipe inside, and you pull on the two arms and the pipe bends without squashing flat... if you can understand that...

I used to be a Refrigeration Technician before i became a Comp Techie, so i used both types of copper tube benders quite often, he he... did you have the flaring tool as well ?

Cheers

I was going to get the stainless braided hoses, but i think that would be a really bad idea to have in the toilet with regards to cleanliness.

No hasn't been completely tested yet.


Macbear, yeah it's a two arm bender. Don't need a flaring tool for these things, the olives (plastic ring) on the tube/pipe squish it when you tighten the nut.
