I am intending to use 15mm Chrome Plated Copper Pipe for radiator tails.
Obviously, I appreciate that you have to remove the Chrome Plating when using soldered fittings but do you also have to remove the Chrome Plating when using compression fittings.
The thing is that although copper is relatively soft I am a little concerned that the Chrome Plating would stop the olive from compressing into the pipe and therefore not provide a reliable water tight seal.
Also is wire wool suitable for removing the chrome plating.
