Just moved into a ‘new’ (18yrs old) house, and am decorating one room at a time. I want to replace the old single radiators without fins as I go, with double radiators in some instances.
The pipework is 10mm copper, and protrudes about 40mm from the wall. I think need to extend it out by about 20-30mm to fit a double rad. Just wondering what the best way to do this is, without soldering.
Also, valves at both end ends of this rad had a slight weep, so will be replacing them. But they had wet the plaster around the pipe, so have broken the damp plaster away and will fill it once it’s had a while to dry out. Will expanding foam be ok, topped off with filler once dry?
Cheers
