Radiator pipework height ???

[spadders]

Hi Guys,
I'm just completing work on a room and have a plasterer coming in a few days. I've dropped a flow and return for a new rad about 12" from the floor, but just wondering if anybody can tell me what is the standard/correct height to bring the pipework out through the plaster so it fits neatly at the bottom of the rad. Might seem like a daft question, but just not sure and don't want to butcher the fresh plaster afterwards.

The pipes are coming down roughly in the centre of where the rad will be going, as there's a bloody great steel on one side, and I haven't made a final decision on the size yet.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

best/easiest way would have been...

10mm plastic down the wall in middle of rad
exits through the wall via a 25mm electrical box/purpose made back box
pipe looped into chrome 15x10mm stem elbows.

Maybe to lat now though

Standard height of a rad is 200mm to the bottom so depends how you want to pipe the rads.

Thanks for the speedy reply.
Yeah, hindsight is a wonderful thing I guess, but got to make what I've got work now, as the plasterer is coming to board and dab tomorrow night and I have 2 15mm pipes in situ.
So if I assume the bottom of the rad is going to be 200mm should I bring the pipework out at the same height, or a bit lower? (bearing in mind I have to use what's there now)

Lower. you need to be ble to run the pipe along under the rad And the have an elbow up into the rad valves.
