I intend to replace a small kitchen rad with a Smith plinth heater but the recommended model (SS3) for the space (17m3) doesn't come bundled with flexible pipes & isolation vales like the higher BTU-rated models.
I found some 300/500/1000mm braided flexible 15mm hoses in B&Q but noticed they were rated at Max 70C / Max 16bar. These aren't tap connectors, they're proper 15mm compression fit at both ends. Are these suitable for domestic CH connection?
If not (or alternatively), should I just buy the higher-rated model (SS5), suitable for 29m3 which comes bundled with flexihose and restrict flow using the feeder valve?
NB. I'll be attaching this to an 8mm microbore open-vented system, presumably via reducers.
