can you bend 15mm coated copper
?

Yes (by coated I take it you mean plastic)
but you will need different former & slides or think they do an external spring.

Maybe chrome ?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

yes you can and normally a sparks bender will do, but there are special ones out there for plastic coated

Might as well use soldered bends then lame….

What's wrong with using an internal spring that was my first idea?

 

[chris watkins]

Bends can only be pulled on the ends of each length of pipe if that suits the installation then fine otherwise you would have to make a joint.

Thanks and I guess you won't be able to see any rippling . Joining coated and normal copper is not a problem?

and an external spring is any better????????????

Is this plastic coated going in as new then James or is it existing & you are just coming off it with R250 (for the oldens Table X) cos you could use 15mm plastic coated soft copper R220 off the coil & bend it by hand ?

No problem joining together BTW.
