Default plastic plumbing vs copper - a moan.

I don't like it, it needs wrestling to the wall and always seems to look

It can come in handy but I dont think you can beat a rigid, straight
length of copper bracketed firmly to the wall exactly where you want it.


I can understand stuff bought by the coil just wanting to be back in the
coil but doesn't the bought straight stuff behave well?

I agree the fittings are a bit big, think I mix 'n match depending on
visibilty. Having spent the best part of two days doing a bathroom mostly
in 22mm copper with a fair few pulled bends next time I'll use plastic if
only 'cause I expect it to be far quicker.
