copper pipes in wall 90 degree bend sticks out too far

[mickthetree]

Hi all

Theres probably a simple solution to this, but I have chased all of the pipes for my central heating into the wall. To avoid having joints in the wall I intended to put a 90 degree bend on the end of the pipe then join onto the pipework on the wall in pipe clips.

The trouble is when I bend the pipe I get a shoulder on the bend. If I cut back as far as I can leaving enough shoulder to solder a joint on the pipe will stick out some 50mm from the wall.

I could stick a 90 degree elbow on the end but thats what I want to avoid.

Any neat solutions?

I'm using a rothenburger multi bender and following the instructions so I presume the shoulder is normal?

solder a joint on, test it, and then make sure all copper is protected from contact with plaster.

A lot of installers use the wide yellow adhesive tape from merchants
