isolate water, undo the nut and wrap a few turns of PTFE clockwise onto the olive, tighten the nut up by hand and then another half a turn with adjustables.

Did it solve your water hammer problem ?

Just a quick one, is your stop tap fully open?

It just pulls off.

Re-post this in the "Decorating and Painting" forum for better advice. Dan

I did tell him to pay me for what i had done today, and we`ll sort the rest out when i come back plus with him being sort of a friend of a friend, ohwell lesson learnt. He was an oddball though.

No nothing was agreed, i told him its this much`.. for what ive done today and we`ll sort out when i come next time, But would you call £50 unreasonable for just the second radiator removal and rehanging?

I recently did a foreigner on a weekend moving a radiator to the opposite side of the room than it originally was, moved the pipework but the customer didn't want the radiator going on the wall as he was having the room re-plastered and decorated, while i was there he came in with a "can you...

Yes with a 15mm pushfit coupling, then a length of plastic then the flexi onto the plastic.

Make sure you use inserts in both ends of the plastic. as all joints are pushfit apart from the 3/4 nut to the tap, make sure pipe is fully inserted into the joints and the plastic collars on the coupling are tightened up once fitted. Check the rubber washer is still okay inside the 3/4 nut...

Easiest way for you if you are only working on a small hole behind a tile, remove flexi hose, Get a 15mm straight pushfit coupling, push that onto the existing copper, get another piece of copper or plasic pipe, dont forget the inserts if using plastic. ( plastic will be better for you as it...

No they cannot be shortened. Just remove the flexi hose from the copper pipe, extend the copper to suit the 300mm flexi to the tap you want to connect it too.

For what its worth and all the trouble your having with it, just replace it. There only a few quid.

If you have combined feed and expansion you CANNOT have a gate valve on this pipe, if this gets accidently turned off and forgotten about your heating system is potentially a bomb ! Remove it.

It should work fine. But that if deffinatly not common practice just a lazy, cheap and easy way to do it. Tell them you are not happy and want it put right, especially on a designer rad !

If it is your home and you are paying the heating bills, then get one fitted never mind what the family says they are not paying the heating bills !

Again how many radiators do you have in the house and what are the pipework sizes ?

Depending on your plumbing skills, if none of the above are possible you could cut the 15mm copper as low as possible, solder a 15mm coupling with 10mm reducer and go up in 10mm which you will be able to bend into an offset to connect into the rad, but again the rad will need to be fitted higher...

How many radiators do you have in the house ? Whats your pipework like? 22mm with 15mm tails ? 10mm, 8mm ? Sounds like a big balancing issue. Plus you say some rads only have 1 tap, If you have twin entry valves on some rads these cannot be powerflushed. so you may still have sludge flowing...
