l have just removed a bathroom wall opening it up to be in the same room as the toilet which was on the other side of the wall.
On either side of the wall was radiators which l took of leaving the pipes and valves in place, a smaller radiator one was in the toilet so now l just want to put the larger radiator on the other side of the toilet wall...
So can l blank off under the boards one of the radiators pipes and run underneath the boards in the toilet to the other wall pipes for one radiator..it only needs to go across the width of the toilet about 2 foot..
If l can what would be best to use to blank off one of the radiators, e.g push fit, compression fit etc and the same for moving the pipes for the radiator l'm putting on the wall.
l have a combi boiler system so can someone tell me what l will need to do before and after moving the pipes for the radiator.. Thanks

Could do with some help here folks as l would like to get this done a.s.a.p.
 
If being permanently isolated i'd use soldered fittings.
compression fittings second choice but never pushfit only as a temp fix.

Thanks for replying but this is only part of the answer l need.
l would like to know if l'm doing the job correctly, blanking of one radiator while moving the other radiator pipework to position on wall.
What is the best fitting to use for blanking off and moving pipes fittings, can someone put a link up on here what l will need from screwfix ..
Also am l correct in saying you blank off pipes from radiators not in use and not to join the pipes together.

Assuming that you will not be severing any connections to other radiators, then it seems fine. Capping off the radiator pipes would be like turning the rad off by using the valves so should not be a problem.

Soldered fittings would be best but tricky if there's water in the system, so might be best to use compresssion joints and leave boards up so that you can check for leaks for the next couple of days.
