Radiator pipe from wall

cruizer101

We are upgrading the heating system and as part of it are looking to have radiator pipes come from the wall instead of from the floor. Current pipework is copper buried in concrete floors, replacing with pex or hep2o brought down and stright through walls.

So require some sort of elbow to connect pipe coming horizontally out of wall to the radiator valve.

Had thought of using this, compression strret elbow as I think it is known, to connect direct into valve and the pipework from wall direcly onto it, anyone know if available in 1/2". There is the pushfit fitting equivalent here but don't think it would look great.

Another possible option is something like this compression to female thread, could this be screwed direct to valve, would it work for this usage.

I had also thought of something like these angled tail pipes and then connect direct to them with compression or pushfit, however they don't seem available in ireland anyone know if they are.

Last option is just standard compression elbow with short lenght of pipe between it and valve which isn't ideal, even that seems to 15mm only for chrome and not 1/2", can you get away using 15mm compression fitting on 1/2 pipe.

I'd half thought should I run with 15mm pipework, but thin find it hard ot get all the bit for that too.

Looking for any opinions or other options.

rightjob!

Chrome pipe is all 15mm Metric

Irish copper and fittings are 1/2”.

The way its usually done is a elbow in the wall with a piece of pipe looking out that rad valve connects onto.

The method of elbow used is up to you, solder 90,compression 315,tectite or crimp fitting mlcp.
