babbled like a waterfall and said:

Does 10mm pipe solely come in coils or are there sources of straight
lengths .If not is there a good way of straightening it neatly .?

Normally coils and unless you can work Miracles, it will never be
straight.

I suggest you buy a short coil and experiment. You will soon see what
I mean, and what level of finish you can attain.



Just checked the cost of the insulated stuff with a local plumbers
merchant and here is what they said .

Hello... Price is £103.13 per 25mt coil + vat £18.05 total £121.18

==================
I use an external spring to straighten my 8mm pipe so the same technique
should be reasonably successful for 10mm - assuming that you've got a 10mm
external spring. It doesn't give perfect results but it's much better than
trying to straighten it by hand alone.
