Who was talking about 10mm pipe? I only saw microbore mentioned, or am I
some sort of plant pot?

So what do you call microbo hypodermic needles? :-)

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?..

Mini-bore above 6mm and small-bore using 15mm.

Does a junior hacksaw suffice for plastic microbore?

Yes.

Correct. Mini-bore above 6mm and small-bore using 15mm.

You are at least out of line with some suppliers:

"Microbore Copper Tube 10mm × 25m" - Screwfix

And, in my experience, anyone with CH utilising 15mm pipe calls it
microbore.

Can you refer to an authoritative document for your definition?

Yes, me.

How can you tell - have you tried to unsolder one? If it were for oil I
guess that'd be an acceptable method (brazing or hard soldering).

Well it looks like braze, its not solder unless they have Yellow
