Default Unused legs in a central heating system?

Yes when I saw the subject line I did wonder who would put wooden legs in
an expansion tank!


I did consider it might be in preparation for Talk like a Pirate day on
Thursday...

Apologies for the rather cryptic title...

I am in the middle of creating an open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining area and
cannot with certainty decide where best to put the radiators. Indeed, I can
envisage that the 'best' position might well change over time if/when the
more mobile elements of the room move around.

I was wondering, therefore, if there would be any issue with me piping up a
couple of areas to cater for the potential alternative siting of radiators
at a later date? In keeping with the rest of the system I'll be using 10mm
plastic piping run down from the ceiling behind the plasterboard so it'll be
a straightforward job to do at this stage of the construction (the ceiling
is currently down). The exit points are are at socket height (behind where
the radiator would be) so I would just cap off the pipes in a back box and
cover them with a blanking plate.

Once my project is complete there will be limited access to the ceiling
space so I was planning on connecting all the radiator feeds up to the
manifolds now hence the unused ones will likely be sitting there for a long
time with either air or water in them. Does anyone anticipate any potential
issue(s) with this?
