I will be plumbing a towel radiator into my bathroom in a few weeks after getting it replastered.
The radiator will be about 2ft off the ground so I'd prefer to chase the plumbing into the wall and replaster over it, rather than having pipes running up the wall. It is a solid brick wall so it cant run up behind it.
The plaster will not be thick enough for 15mm pipes to be chased in, but I saw some 10mm microbore copper pipe last night. They had adapaters to go from 10mm to 15mm.
Can these pipes be used for central heating or does it need to be 15mm? Will resticting the diameter affect the flow around the heating system or will it be adequate? Are there any gotchas with burrying pipes under plaster (I will ensure any joints are soldered)
