Any advice on what you can and can't do with chromed pipe?


Just use normal copper pipe and put chrome shrouds over them


That *just* *about* looks OK for straight runs, a bit too fat is the
give-away, but probably normal people won't notice. Very bodgy
looking if there are any soldered elbows involved, might just get
away with chrome compression fittings.


We use them on the towel rails in the bathrooms of the houses we're
building, all the CH pipe is plastic and these are the only ones where pipes
are visible, all the others (normal radiators) have the pipes exiting the
plasterboard at the back with short tails to the valves
