Chasing rad pipes into walls

[walterwhite]

Have you suggested UFH?

I meant that that there will be a radiator on the wall (which is visible) which the pipe run ultimately feeds.

I get ya. Sorry. What I would like is for the pipe to come straight out of the wall an elbow straight into valve. Nice and neat. Not much pipework on show. Seems it will be hard to achieve though

Underfloor heating, they don't want to lift the parquet to chase for rads let alone lifting whole floor for underfloor heating.

Any towel rails I've ever done the pipe exits the wall then a soldered elbow into the valve.
Neatest way possible.
And always insulate the pipe with 13mm wall armaflex.

With mlcp I'll use a chrome compression and finish off with chrome rad snaps.

Think I will go for the 10mm hep in the wall and to outlet boxes suggested above. What wold people use to insulate the pipe and protect the plaster from cracking. Ideally one thing that does both and is slim

What about using 15mm conduit pipe?

I've not read through the full thread, only the last few posts so apologies if this is out of context.

Slip some stitched hair felt over whichever pipe you're using before plastering in. This will absorb the movement in the pipe but won't give as good insulation as climaflex.

If you're chasing pipes in to a supporting wall there is a limit to how deep you can chase which would also affect your choice of insulation.
