Can anyone tell me if it's OK to use a flexitail on central heating. The rad is behind a screen so it doesn't matter how it looks. Just need it not to be safe. Any help much appreciated. icon_confused.gif

Nah, I think it would be quite safe.

If you want it to be "unsafe" then you could use some garden hose pipe and forget to fit a jubilee clip?

No it is NOT safe if you're considering using a TAP connector on CH. They aren't rated to stand central heating water temperatures, unless the description says different.
