Making radiator pipe shrouds from chrome pipe

[Possom]

It wasn't the responses I was thinking of.

Really?

 

[Dan Robinson]

Yep.

 

[Possom]

Yep.

Care to elaborate?

 

[empty-seat]

Ignore the trolls Possom. They want you to react.

You have been nothing but a gent.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Nope. It is self evident.

Jesus Christ. A week of idiots.

Me as well?

No mate.... But this week has been littered with numpties, both here the cc and the real world.

I know. I suggested 15mm chrome in #8.

The white pipe will be plastic. As loved by new house builders. I do recall decades ago when it was introduced, the pipe was for the unseen sections. All visible pipe would be proper copper.
The work seen now is, IMO, a disgrace. And there is even a special fitting to facilitate the carp work

#8:

If all the rads will be piped from under boards why not just use 15mm pipe to valves?

You didn't mention chrome in #8, so I had assumed you meant using the 15mm white finish pipe which is what I have seen installed.

OK. Using useless Kindle Fire. Laptop had it.
Tried to correct autocorrect and it musdt hgsve deleted "chrome".
But WTF would you imagine I meant White pipe? Given the context it obvious I meant Chrome.

You aren't, perchance, related to Gas Busters?

I have no background in plumbing, so I was unaware that chrome pipe could be connected directly onto white (presumably plastic) piping. That is, until muggles informed of this possibility in#18.

I dislike this obsession with chrome. All a bit "bling" IMO.

OK for taps and rad valves, but what's wrong with neatly run copper pipework polished to bring out its natural lustre?

I agree

But chrome is a step up from plastic!

 

[FiremanT]

What is the obsession with white plastic? New builds tend tyo be plastic. Retri s tend to be copper. But maje sdsdure when you talk to the plumber.

But thee Pole is right IMO. Chrome is OK in the bathroom otherwise paint the pipes.
