Is there a reason why radiators shoud not be connected using flexible
hoses? I mean this kind of thing:

the radiator could then be removed from the wall (for cleaning behind
etc) without disconnecting anything.

I suspect they may not be sealed well against air penetration
(i.e. probably no equivalent of barrier pipe versions), which
could be an issue in a sealed system (more regular inhibitor
replacement required).
