Central heating pipes in dot and dab wall

[Dannypipe]

10mm copper tube is easily damaged. 10mm plastic pipe is tough, and won't be easily damaged.

I've done exactly as was suggested by 'gasmanrob' and not had an issue. Sure it's not ideal, but as he says - look at the opening on some rad valves. The appature on some is about 8mm.

You can't just throw 10mm everywhere and hope it works!!

But in this instance I think you'll be fine.


Also you can buy purpose made inset boxes from Toolstation to direct the pipe. A single patress with grommets is a good idea, but these things are purpose made.

plastic into a box or face plate is fine aslong as the radiator is not very small, never like the way the rads can be pulled off there brackets by young children on most new build installs.

Very good point.
