At a guess I would think that most would cope fine as long as that pipe

What boiler is it?

I'd check with the manufacturers, (of course).

To be on the safe side a couple of
temporary connection to a temporary radiator should probably do the trick.


I'd be careful if I were you - I gave an almost identical answer and
got right royally jumped on for giving an answer that was not 100%
copper bottomed guaranteed to be correct.
