Hello everyone,
First of all thank you for taking time to read my post, hopefully I can find help!
My problem is pretty straight forward, when I removed the radiator from the bathroom to paint the wall, the cooper pipe that connect the radiator to the wall broke into two, I will attach pictures to make it clear!
Any ideas or advices on how to fix it will be welcomed.
Thanks a lot,
Seed.

Only way to fix that is open the wall and connect onto the existing pipe or fitting.
If there is enough thread on the fitting you may be able to use an M+F connector.
 
It's got a good right to have broken off, looks like somebody's been swinging on it with a pair of stillsons.

As said above, need to open the wall up.
 
Thank you all for your help and suggestions, at the end it wasn't a hard fix
:)
, I enlarged the hole and take off the broken part.
My problem is solved,
Cheers.
