I want to replace a conventional radiator with a towel radiator. As the pipe centres are not going to line up with the new radiator, would it be possible to use flexible hoses to connect the new radiator?
 
apart from it being a bodge standard flexis are not designed for the temps.
alter the pipes looks much better.

Thanks for the reply - i had a feeling there'd be a problem with the idea! :)
 
Had to have a laugh at a mate who quoted same job as me and got it. As we spoke about it i said it would have been a nice easy job if it was not for the flexi`s. He looked a bit blank . Till i said did not notice every rad upstairs fitted on them. :shock: :shock: Teach him to look properly :lol:
 
You can get suitable flexi braided hoses, some commercial boilers are connected with them.

Some designer rads have them inside, and most domestic plinth heaters use them, eg: Smiths SpaceSaver.

It might look a bodge, or in a very modern house, it could look quite arty f@rty......
