Hi. Really appreciate some input as can't seem to nail much much info about these Flexi hoses I have on my central heating.
I've priced up a new rad, valves, and inhibitor fluid, and was fairly confident about doing it all myself, but after removing the radiator I'm not 100% what's suitable to use.
I've attached some pics with what was present after I removed my leaky radiator so couple of questions.

1/ Can I reuse the angled joint+nut on the end of the hose?

2a/ If yes are any standard valve suitable?

2b/ If no what do I need?

Many thanks

Matt

Yes ,you can re use the valves and fittings that you have.
Or you can fit new valves to existing fittings on your current pipes.
 
That is Hep2O pipe not flexible -hoses, they are something completely different

Yeah....I'm not a plumber. It's a hose and it's flexible. That's why was asking for advice.
Thanks for the helpful post though.
