Hi guys,
Hopefully you can point me in the right direction, as you've always done in the past.
I had a very fancy radiator powder coated recently, and bought some new valves for it, however they're a little bit wider (when looked at from the front) than the ones they're replacing, so the pipes need to be moved out around 10-15mm each side. I need to shorten the pipes too, as the rad now sits much lower than it previously did, due to me putting it on feet, instead of completely inappropriate brackets fastened to plasterboard like the previous owner had done.
My question is, do you think it would be easy for the average semi-competent DIYer to put a very shallow s-bend in each pipe to accomodate the new "wider" valves? If so, how would I do it, and what tools would I need.
There is a chance I could get to the pipes from the crawl space under the house, so could replace them entirely, but it must be through the existing holes in the new laminate I laid before tackling the rad
Any advice would be massively appreciated.
Cheers guys,
BS...
