plastic pipe in a central heating system

[padraig]

Hello

I am replacing a radiator with a heated towel rail. Is it OK to connect the the towel rail using push-fit plastic pipe to the copper pipework or should I keep to copper?

Thanks.

Works fine but looks rubbish

It's always better to have exposed pipe work in copper

If you want it to look good, which is usually the idea with a towel rail I always use chrome plated copper. But plastic will do the job.

wouldnt advise plastic pipe with chrome towel rail, why not use chrome pipework and use compression joints to join onto copper if your worried about soldering ?
