Hi

I need to move a radiator from one wall of a room to the another. The floor surface is chipboard so I could extend the pipes under the floor. I believe the system is a microbore system with 8mm pipes going to each end of the radiator from under the floor. Could anyone please suggest the best way of extending these pipes.

Thanks

Quite a simple job, using connectors and 8mm pipe, cut the pipe and clean paint etc off old pipe and fit either a cappillary or compression connector. Connect to the new pipe and run under the floor to the new position for the radiator. Will need 2 8mm compression rings for radiator valves, unless you upgrade the valves as well.
