apart from the fact they're ugly.


Only if you can see them. My 10mm feed pipes emerge from the wall
behind the rad and I'd use copper from the rad fittings to a join with
the flexible somehwere on the back of the rad. the flexible pipes
would be invisible.


Just be careful to choose hoses rated for the temperature - many are
only specced to handle tap temperatures (up to 60C).


that's a very good point. Id' forgotten that rad tempertaures can be
higher than taps.
