I am planning to re-install a radiator, which has some pretty ugly plumming done by fixing it along the skirting board! :o(


I am going to channel out the concrete floor and cement over afterwards.
I have noticed the plastic flexible pipe looks like the job would be a lot easier due to fitting it around corners ... BUT i'm not keen on the pushfit connectors. Has anyone had trouble from them and am i taking a chance if i'm cementing them in?
 
I'd do it in copper and wrap it in Denso tape. Don't just cover in hair felt lagging as the cement will eat through it.

I do agree, however Denso tape is Evil :twisted: . If you can use plastic properly then do, It'll be fine just use copper for the tails to Rad, I don't usually recommend plastic but in some situations it works
