Will the new rad pipes work....

[j0n35y]

Hi currently having a new bathroom installed and plumber has moved our radiator to another wall. The pipe work has been altered and we have 2 copper pipes sticking out of floor with pushfit caps.

I'm a little concerned because when the heating is on, all rads in house work fine but the 2 pipes in bathroom do not heat up at all. Surely at least one of them should get a little hot?

The floor has been tiled already and I'm worried the floor may have to come up to have a look at pipework.

any ideas guys

Thanks

there fine they wont heat up as there no circulation and a bit of air in the pipe

Thankyou Shaun, I did think that it could be air, but expected at least a little heat.

The pipes wont heat us as they'll have air in them and theres no circulation in the branch of pipe work therefore the cold water wont be replaced with hot water
