I have a heating system from 1988 - it has the small(est) pipes and the double entry valves in one end of the radiators (not a bad idea - seems to work well)
I would quite like to move a radiator about 10 feet along a wall. The walls are dry lined and the pipes are behind the plasterboard until they emerge into the valve.
To move the rad, I guess I need to cut off the pipes where they drop down the wall and extend them to the new location.
Question One: Should I use copper or plastic for this:
Question two: Should I try to cut and remove a strip of plasterboard and re-use it to cover the extended pipe route and the area of the pipe joint? Any tips on making this invisible?
Question three: should I re-use the double ended valve (Twinfast?) or change to conventional?
Many thanks to anyone who can build up my confidence to do this neatly.
