If you want it to look pretty, just switch to chrome pipe for the tails.


but remember to remove the chrome if using with pushfit.



Or use compression joints instead of pushfit.


And remember when using chromed copper to do them up a bit tighter than
you would with ordinary copper pipe. That way the service valve won't
pop off the pipe end when you pressure test it and go to touch it with a
spanner to cure a "slight weep". DAMHIK! ;-)
