Radiator connections

[AMStewart]

Hi,
I’m a total novice here so apologies in advance!

My bedroom radiator was off centre and I’m wanting to move it.
It has 2 10mm polypropylene barrier pipes that run inside the wall and then attach to either side of the radiator.

In order to get the length I need to move it 16cm, I could criss-cross the two pipes attaching them to the opposite sides of the radiator than they originally where but I’m worried that this will damage the central heating system! (I don’t know if it’s a single loop or feed and return system)

Will I mess up the heating system by doing this??

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Is this ok?

Thank you!

I’ll attempt turning it on, once I get it painted!!

Cheers

If you don’t want to cross you can cut them add a coupler and bit more pipe to fit

Are you sure it needs painting ? looks like a modern factory finish enameled one

As above all fine, just check if any of the valves have an arrow on them, if so that means the flow needs to go that way round. So it's possible you might need to swap the valves too. Many are bidirectional now anyway.
