Default connecting radiators using flexible hoses

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.

maybe it is a bit OTT, but is there a law against it?


Apart from looking awful, it would add a fiver to the cost of fitting
a rad...

What about using pushfit fittings or something? It would look rubbish,
but it would allow rotation of the joint once you got the rad off the
hangers. You don't need much flex in a length of copper pipe to lift
up the rad enough to get it away from the wall.
