Hi, can anyone tell me that the purpose of the little plastic bits that fit over the metal bracket that fixes the radiator for the wall are for?
Thanks
 
I have come across them on a rad I bought from B&Q. I think they are to allow the rad to move slightly when expanding & contracting.

I would have thought these limit there movement though? (sorry, I really dont have a clue about DIY)
I am missing one on my rad but is it worth the hassel of paying someone to take it off the wall so I can put it on?
 
They do -and let it expand quietly - old rads didn`t have them :idea: so if one`s not there it`s not an issue
 
Thanks JonB and Nige.
I originally thought it might be to stop the heat warming up the bracket or something lol
I will sleep better now :)
