Hello,

I thought I'd ask before I try because it's too expensive to waste!
Can chrome plated 15mm copper pipe be bent, either with a spring or a
proper bender or does something terrible happen to the chrome plate?

If I have off cuts and take them to the scrap yard, does the chrome
plating carry a premium or is it just bundled with "plain" copper?

I put some mild S bends in a pair chrome plated pipes a few years back
using a spring. The plating is still doing fine... The pipes were from
BES I think...
