Bend copper pipe in-situ?

[AndyScholes]

Hello

Just wondering how best to deal with the two 15mm copper feed pipes in my screed floor - see picture.

Basically I want them to pop up just after the wood (that will be a stud wall) to feed a utility area I'm building.

I can't solder - so that's not an option.

I don't like the idea of having joints below the surface... so not massively keen on cutting and using push fit/compression elbows.

I'm wondering if I could use a pipe bender on these two runs to pop them up (having drained them). Maybe it's too tight / not enough run.

What would you do (apart from solder)? I've some Hep2O elbows I could pop on.

Thanks

Never seen a modern hep2o fitting pop out if fitted correctly.

Please don't put connections where they can't be seen, Speedfit or anything.
Soldered joints only for me in that situ, and please protect the copper from the screed, it will kill the copper quickly

Is pipe bending there not going to work? Suspect it's too tight.

What I might do is pop Hep20 elbows on, close to where the partition will be. Then leave a bit of a hole so the elbows are visible. Tile around it.

It will only be a small area and at the back of a utility section - so washing machine in front of it.

Assuming they're hot/cold pipes, as opposed to heating pipes, I suggest you call an intelligent plumber (yes, we exist), explain the situation, and tell him you will have water off, and pipes bone dry for him to solder, it will take him 5 mins max, and charge you according to where you live.
Peace of mind.
