Moving rad.

Big Davey

I am moving a rad at home and wanted to use qualplex is this acceptable ? I would not use it near a hot water cylinder or boiler etc but should it be ok just to move a rad ?
Any tips on bleeding the system would also be appreciated.
Thanks

Pex pipe is perfect for rads, many positives in using it, like less joints under the floor, cost etc... Also means if you have to cross joists you can drill them rather than notch them, which is much better.

Bleeding will be different for each system but should be too bad...

It'll look rough but will work fine. Don't bend it too sharp because it will kink when it's heated. Also don't forget to use inserts. Very important.
And some ptfe tape over the olive when it's compressed, not the threads!
