I have a Quebb (remember them?) woorburner with two back boilers. They are independent, one on either side of the stove. The boiler outlets are welded into the thick boilerplate of the rear of the woodburner.

I thinking of plumbing them in parallel for connection to my heating system.

My question is about the differences in expansion of the boiler itself versus the 28mm copper pipe I plan to plumb across the 18" or so between the boiler outlets.

Is this likely to crack my solder joints?
Would compression fitings be better?
Or is there best practice I don't know about - e.g. to bend a kink in the copper to take up any difference in expansion?

Thanks in advance.
