cosmetic, new piping above the tiles could have ran from the old radiator was to where the new radiator will be, about 300mm of pipe running along the floor would spoil the look of the wifes tiles ...silly really but i can't go back now! :roll:

ok no push-fit connectors! as i've never soldered before i better use compression, pipes will be insulated like the existing pipework and i'll use ptfe tape at the joints also there is already joints underground albeit soldered near the radiator so plumbers do make joins underground!
