Rad Pipes Question

[Spinny]

Floor levelling finished at last, but wonder what is best for radiator pipes coming through the leveller ? (See Pic)

The leveller has effectively cemented the pipes into position. Is this OK or unwise ?

LVT will be going down on the floor.

 

Possible issues - Will this make it problematic to remove and reinstall the rad because of lack of play on the pipes ? Will the heat from the pipes crack the leveller or effect the LVT ?

or will the leveller etch the copper and cause an early failure?

Cementitious products, especially when laid wet and allowed to cure, will corrode the copper prematurely.

 

Gently chip away around the pipe and clear it away, just a few mm, and then buy some pipe collars to cover up cosmetically.
