I would do the drops in 10mm plastic
But then you have the big ugly fittings buried in the wall. Unless you mean straight down and elbow into valve

It was just a thought, with a bit of planning it could possible to run the pipes to an outlet box behind each rad with no connectors in the wall.
Not if you wrap it the right way (not inside out):wink:
Now that sounds interesting. I have not heard of these outlets before. I shall have a looksy online. Thanks
I'll do that if the customer wants it. Usually hire a wall chaser....creates a lot of dust even with extractor! If it's too much for me I just sub the wall prep out to a builder.(Then it's an easy plumbing job.) Pressure test then denso tape & mark/map where pipes are....
Having chased my kitchen walls for new wiring, yeah, one hell of a mess even with an extractor! I would suggest covering the pipes with a plastic or metal cover under the plaster, means you shouldn't get cracking from pipes moving as they expand if buried in solid plaster.
Instead of chasing walls would the client be happy with smallbore inside clip-on trunking? Looks quite neat when painted/papered to match the walls.
But your going to be able to see a radiator anyway
I meant that that there will be a radiator on the wall (which is visible) which the pipe run ultimately feeds.
Have you suggested UFH?
