Flexible hoses for radiators
Sep 26th, 2013, 12:01pm
 
Hi again,
I was wondering if you can use flexible hoses to connect a towel rail? I want to put a new towel radiator in the bathroom, as the current radiator has sprung a couple of leaks. Unfortunately the pipes only come through the floor a few inches, and they are too close together to reach where the new towel rail will be. If flexible hoses can be used, could you tell me what type. Many thanks.

Not fit for purpose.

Best to use speedfit or similar pipe with either compression or pushfit fittings.
