Bringing up plastic pipework from the floor in the centre of a radiator

[RichJ]

Hi

 

I've seen a few posts on here where it's been mentioned that if you're using Pex-Al-Pex pipe, you can bring the pipes up from the floor in the centre of radiator... looping the pipe round and down behind the radiator then into the TRV/lockshield.

 

Has anyone got any pics of what this looks like when done? My plan is to convince the missus this is a good option rather than going with copper from the tails to the floor.

Any issues in plasterboarding over 15mm+ @nod?  keeping the boards all in line on the same dab depth so it doesn't end up a bit wavy.  What's the max you'd ever dab over?

Thanks for the photo Nod.

 

But how would you connect the plastic pipe to the lockshield/trvs? I'm assuming it's not into the bottom of the valves like copper pipes coming up from the floor would do.
