Always 15mm to the rads. Plus, 15mm is readily available with chrome plating, which gives a professional touch when the tails only have a short run out of the floor or wall into the valves.
i cant think of anytjing more DIY than chrome pipe into rad valves.(chrome towel rads are the exception)
I completely disagree. Plain copper pipe into the valves, which are almost always chrome, looks absolutely horrid. What's more, it will tarnish over time.
If you honestly think that this...
...would have looked better with bare copper tails, then you're welcome to your opinion, but it wouldn't be at all to my taste.
that works due to the rad being a decrotavive cast replica(probably looks like a stelrad).
personally id bring the 10mm down the wall,out behind the middle of a panel rad(under the valve on a dec) and pull nice bends down to the valve with only 2-3inch of copper showing.or heaven forbid the same in plastic using drayton 10mm radiator elbows.
how did you connect the chrome to copper. solder or compression? OP 22- 15mm anyday.usually 22 to the last couple of rads.
My flow and return pipes appear to be 8mm, is this a bad thing? I'm in the process of replacing two radiators, one column and one 'normal', both of circa 9,500 BTU.
cleaned the copper soldered fittings and fluxed, then wiped solder on them to give a sort of chrome/silver finish.
