pex fitting to rad

[Mr Wilson]

have 20mm pex running behind wall and looking at ways to connect to rad ( horizontal connection )... obviously only want as few connections in wall and 1 if possible. was planing of using a copper stub out elbow using a crimp connection if i can source them to germany. not sure if this (copper)will look a little ugly sticking out the wall ... would prefer chrome pipe but to connect this would require 2 connections either side of an elbow and the chrome pipe would have to be compression fitting.

any thoughts on this what are you pros using mabye theres a pex fitting im unaware of.

cheers

Just google pex to copper and a few adapters come up

 

[Mr Wilson]

cheers shaun ive looked into all these fittings as i cant find a supplier of copper stubs in germany. it seems like the full range of pex fittings are in USA even the crimp fittings shown in above pic i cant get those type of fittings here there a little different with a shorter barb...
im thinking ill just have to use an pex crimp elbow to copper and solder the copper connection therefor making my own copper stub.
all the same i think ill figure it out...

cheers

Amber in Deutschland becomes Sie a deer materialised die Sienzum pressed verwenden können ... Muss doch nicht unbedingt pex sein oder ?

Wir haben doch echt hochwertige press fittinge und die passenden Plastik Rohre dazu.

 

[Mr Wilson]

Sorry my bad the keyboard wasn't right settled.

I just mentioned that you can get easily very good / high standard plastic pipes in Germany as well as fittings ... We have got loads of crimping stuff and well insulated pipes for crimping

ya correct multi layer pipe .. Pex Al Pex = pex aluminium pex ....

These will fit, but you will need a press tool.
They are in Germany too. They will do a compression fitting too. Email them

[Mr Wilson]

cheers fellas ... would you guys recommend these crimp over compression for behind wall... or better put wouldn't compression provide better grip

 

[Chalked]

Crimp is best, but you will need a crimping tool.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

crimp and over compression crimp would take much much force to pull off

 

[Mr Wilson]

crimp it is ...so very permanent

cheers for the input

why not use these and connect the pex straight to the radiator valve [DLMURL="http://www.uheat.co.uk/uponor-bsp-compression-adaptor-mlcp-16mm-x-1-2-ft/"]Uponor BSP Compression Adaptor (MLCP) 16mm x 1/2" FT - uHeat[/DLMURL]

you can use these with compression fittings as well if you haven't got a crimp tool
