join or cap feed and return pipes after removing rad?

[jon77]

Hello all,

Planning to permanently remove a radiator in the bathroom + replace with mains electric towel rail (father in law is retired electrician + very reasonable price-wise!)

15mm pipes come up from floorboards + ch system is combi boiler

Im happy enough draining system etc, but do I need to join the feed and return pipes afterwards to complete the loop? (will be under floorboards) or just cap them off with stop ends?

Would prefer to do this properly rather than bodge it and have problems at a later date.

Thanks in advance

Jon

Thanks for the quick reply Kev...Are speedfit stop ends ok for capping, or do I need compression?

Soldered would be best if your able. Speedfit or compression are fine aswell, albeit speedfit are a bit more 'bulky'.
