Hi, when first fixing radiator pipes on drops, i.e the ground floor. On new build properties. What is the usual practice/ practices of doing this. I have before seen 15mm plastic pipes dropped down the wall with nailing clips, so dot and dab plastered over. Then the pipes exiting the wall in copper at the required pipe centers for the rad. via a 15mm plastic elbow that is chased in to the wall abit. With this method though when soldering the elbow to connect up to the radiator at the second fix stage. You would be soldering just 2-3 inches away from the plastic elbow in the wall. Anyone else seen pipes installed this way? Is it the correct way of doing it?
