Moving a Radiator

[DIYDANNY]

Hello, i am about to move a radiator in my bedroom and was hoping to use the newer fexible type of pipe rather than the usual copper pipes. Do i need to run an earth cable along side them to keep the earthing cicuit present? Is there any problems connecting this type to the old fashiond copper pipes?

Any advice welcome, Cheers, Dan.

No and No. ie No problems!
I'd use compression fittings - cheaper and more reliable than pushfit. Don't forget the inserts for the pipe.

Thanks mate i`ll take your comments on board and use compression fittings. Do you route the flexipipe up to the radiator valves themselves or connect to copper underneath (floorboards) and run up to the valves, never seen it done before that`s all.

Cheers
