They can be rotated around the pipe as much as you want.
The gripper inside the fitting stays held to the pipe and the O ring is the only thing that moves with the fitting.

Unless it's the old hep that pi$$es out as soon as you look at it.

I try not to even move them at all

Your refering to the radiator valve. The actual pushfit section will not be able to move on that picture. I wouldnt recommend trying to twist the valve at all, if you go to far you’ll get a lot of water coming out.

Should be able to lift it off the brackets whole. Have a helper, buckets and towels and know where your water turns off just in case

The photo link wasn’t there when I first replied.
Fitting will turn on the plastic pipe, but I would just have the rad removed

Thanks to the one plumber who did get back to me (rang 10) who I offered the job to remove and refit, he gave me some simple advice so managed to sort myself. 2 Quick Grips, 2 Planks, Folding Stool and a hammer. Job Done

Gawd this is gonna be like pulling teeth.
What/ where did you need the hammer Steven?

 

[Steven Palmer]

Lol, it went in the hole of the stool so the rad could rest against it.

Depends if you’re feeling lucky. I’ve never had a problem although as the old saying goes ‘If it ain’t leaking, don’t touch it’
If you do turn it though and its John Guest fitting try to turn it clock wise with the thread, so the fitting tightens as you turn.
