Hi always copper/nickel non rust longer lasting and dosent work harden therefore less likely to crack at bends

if only the manufacturers would use copper/nickel we wouldnt be changeing rusty broken pipes, but that cost more and no sales off replacements

I agree ^ But other than the hassle of doing it the cost of new pipes if DIY is nothing you can pick up 10m of pipe for like £15.
