Any reason for the bends anyways? After all, flexi pipes are to save fooking about bending etc anyway

Yes, the pipes have to cross over (as can be seen in the pic). Kinda hard to explain, would have been an absolute nightmare to do in copper and putting the bends on as I have made the pipe runs the nicest they could be. The flexi's are huge great things and only 300mm long, so not the most flexible flexi's I have ever seen.
