10mm copper pipe on CH??

    I was trying to find the source of a leak for a friend in their house. Think I have identified its coming from a compression joint (and bent copper pipe) under the floor upstairs. The pipe is connected to the TRV on an upstairs rad.

    However, the pipe appears to be 10mm copper :confused:
    Is this normal for a (quite old) CH system?

    I'm going to have to cut through the laminate floor and OSB sub floor to get access to the fitting & pipe. Looks like it is connected to a 90 degree reducer. But can't identify the larger pipe type/size.

    I've attached a few photos. See if you can spot the kink :pac::pac:

    If its upstairs might be easier to cut access in ceiling underneath much easier fix
