Quality chrome copper pipes
The copper pipe is made to EN 1057 standard, except it is chrome plated for aesthetic purposes i.e. exposure in a bathroom.
Chrome coating is to ISO 1456:2009.
All chrome plated copper pipes are individually bagged to ensure they are protected during transport.
Note: in order to apply chrome plated there has to be nickel coating applied first. This metal is a harder material than copper in nature, therefore it is not recommended to overexert the bending of the tubes. Tube sizes 35mm and above are NOT suitable for any bending.
BS EN 1057 /BS EN 1456
