Using plastic pipes to connect to radiators
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.18 PM
Replacing old size radiators with new size ones. Having to replace some pipes, using plastic as they will be hidden from view. If using plastic to connect to the radiator valves, do you put the insert into the pipe as normal and also use the copper olive like you would with copper? Also how tight would you do up the connection?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
