Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience of these? They'd make the cooling installation in my car much easier if they do what I want them to - bend up to 90 degrees in the same space as a normal elbow joint without kinking, and be able to take one of the screw-in t-piece adapters.

They look like they should, but I want to be sure before I order it (as we want red ones...

TIA

I bought some @£40/m and dont like it.

Infact I placed a second order for more bends and joiners and made them up.

much better job.

What clips have you got holding the pipes on? Look like a quality bit of kit

I have used it in various sizes. It is a royal PITA to cut, but I found it a good solution. It allows you to have pipe runs in rather difficult positions without the need for loads of bends/joiners. It does not bend as much as the non-reinforced stuff, but it doesn't collapse when you do bend it. I would say only use it where you need to!
