Bathroom Radiator Connectors

[dede]

Hi all, my first official post so please bear with me 😉

I'm trying to connect new radiator in my bathroom. I want to use flexible hoses but am unsure of the connector types and sizes. Would like to order both hoses from Ebay but don't want to assume somenthing and later end up with hoses that doesn't fit...
Please could you be kind enough and tell me what type of connector/hose would I need based on the photos attached? There is one photo of my radiator inlet and two photos of the pipe that comes from underneath the flor and the valve on top of it. Obviously there are 2 pipes but the hose and connection type should be the same for both.
If it's easier to share an ebay listing rather than explaining that would be much appreciated.

Kind regards!!

Flexiable hoses arnt rated for radiator connections

Best option is to hard pipe it

I agree with Shaun
Do it properly not flexis. Looks a mess though to be honest.

ok, good to know. I wasn't aware. That changes the situation a little bit meaning I would need to spend some more time on this but that's not a problem. I still have 1m copper pipe in the garage so shouldn't be that complicated. Would you be able to tell me how do I connect the radiator end to the copper pipe? What connector?

Chrome straight rad valves

Thanks Scott. Yes, it's a long story with the mess. It was all nice and clean this morning when I decided to clean the tile adhesive around the pipes and burst one of them. Needed to cut the floor to get to the pipe, cut off the damaged bit and attach the valve slowly and properly as there's not much pipe left and I couldn't risk any mistakes.

Thank you Shaun. I found this online:
2 x PACK CHROME FINISH STRAIGHT RADIATOR VALVES 15MM X ½"- RD4391 -NEW 10643000091 | eBay

Please could you kindly confirm this is what I should be looking for?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yes

 

[Scott_D]

Is the red handled valve stuck at that angle?

 

[dede]

Yes it is. I will be very careful cleaning the excess tile adhesive around it tomorrow with the day light

 

[ShaunCorbs]

How did you clean the existing off ?

 

[dede]

With a hammer and small chisel. Obviously I wasn't careful enough with the first one...
Won't be making the same mistake again tomorrow

Really you only need a Stanley knife and some sand paper

Used knife and 150 grid sand paper the second time,
but not the first time 😵
