I am about to move a radiator. I've got the 15mm copper pipe and the 'push fit' elbow/straight attachments, it's how I attach the pipe to the radiator ends thats puzzling me.
I'll use the thermastatic valve again and I'm looking at it now. The copper pipe goes up into the valve and is secured by a large nut. But how does it hold the pipe securely/watertight?
There must be something clever going on under that large nut that stops it leaking? Whatever the answer is, it must be the same at the other end of the rad? (as the same thing is happening).
I hope this makes sense.
