Could I pull these flex pipes up by cable tying them onto the back of the radiator (it’s a double rad) Just wondering if the heat against the cable ties would be ok. I’ve seen the cable clips you can get but not much room for them. Any help appreciated

You can secure the flex pipes to the back of the radiator using heat-resistant cable ties, which are better suited for the high temperatures radiators generate. Standard ties may become brittle over time from the heat, so look for ties rated for up to 125°C or use metal cable ties for more durability. Just make sure to avoid direct contact with the hottest parts of the radiator to ensure the ties last longer.
