Kink in 8mm Pipe - Will it be ok to use or will it Restrict Water? Help and information on all topics relating to your central heating, air conditioning and ventilation issues.

Trying to feed 8mm pipe through a hole I'd drilled in the floorboard I managed to get a slight kink in the pipe in spite of using a 8mm bender spring - although the pipe isn't fully kinked. It was already linked to the new radiator. Do I need to take it off the radiator and try again with a new length of pipe or will the water supply still be ok through the slight kink?

Don't know without seeing it. You'd be better off using 10mm as I suggested previously.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah, bit of a daft question I suppose. Anyway, I've replaced it now with a new length of pipe and managed to do it without kinking it!
