Iv'e always considered microbore to be 6mm or less.
Drivel is right in that 10mm is used extensively in France
But of coarse it is virtually all mains fed.



So it is 10 mm that is.. seen it in mutter in laws gaff.

One interesting thing all the joints seem to be brazed rather than
soldered, any idea why they do that?..

Surely it can't be the mains pressure?..
