Default Microbore blockage

Will the pipes have olives or will they
have flared ends? Each radiator is fed from the manifold.


I'm not a plumber/heating engineer and have never come across the
microbore, so I don't really know how the ends are terminated. I
suspect they would use an olive though.

A search of Wiki suggests one of three methods are used - solder, flare
and compression.
