Hot water Recirculation pump installation

[Edwardjr]

I have a question about installing a watts hot water recirculator.
In my setup it looks like I have two choices:
1) bend the corrugated copper to attach to the pump.
2) remover corrugated copper and sweat on new fittings.

Do I need a tool to bend the corrugated copper?If so, will it fit over the fip end?

De-solder that old copper flex.
Add male adapters (even push-fit). Use corrugated stainless steel flex, which is so easy to bend.

thanks Breplum. i have used shark bite previously. concur with corrugated stainless. the stainless braided appears more robust but lacks bending leeway.
