I am wanting to move a small radiator to an opposite wall. my system details are as follows:
Fully pumped heating system. Water cylinder in airing cupboard with a F&E tank in the loft. All pipework is 10mm microbore. Feed and return pipes come through the wall to the rad.
My thoughts were:-
Drain the system.
Cut a section of the plasterboard wall away to get access to the pipes in the stud wall. Cut the pipes in the wall space and extend with plastic tubing (pushfit or similar).
Remove part of the chipboard floor and part of the apposing wall and clip the plastic pipe to the joist (which run in the same direction as pipework needs to run). Clip the pipework to one of the vertical timbers in the opposite wall.
Before the new feed / return pipes come back through the wall I would like to replace the plastic with chrome pipework as I am replacing the rad with a towel radiator. Is it ok to join plastic to chrome?
Thanks for any pointers?
