| I would like to diy install copper piping for my instant water heater. Apart from getting the 1/2in copper pipe, some joints and copper pipe cutter, what else do I need? How do I bend the pipe or is there different type of copper pipe for bending. Any tips on margin and provision? Thanks. |

| no need. you can use flex pipe but use copper or pvc pipes would look neat. |

| pvc is too bulky. my current one using copper pipe and i like it since it is quite thin, half the size of pvc pipe. |

u can buy those copper pipe fittings (elbows, T, reducer) at most well stocked hardware shop, bending it can be tricky as u risk damaging it if u bend it too far...

| Can I heat it up to bend or there is a bending tool? I was told by my contractor that there are 2 types of copper pipes, rigid and bendable (like the one use for aircond pipe) |
