View the thread, titled "Flexi Hose with Valve for Plinth radiator" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

I have a Smith's SS5 Plinth radiator. It does not work and the label suggests that it was installed around 1998. I have obtained a new one and was intending to change the unit and flexi hoses. The new model is supplied with two new hoses but they have a different fitting.

The old hoses appear to have push fit connections at both ends and also a valve. They are 15mm and I think 3/4 width and around 750mm in length. However, I cannot find the same ones anywhere.

Attached are two photos of both ends - one end at the copper pipe side and the other on the SS5 radiator. Due to the limited space under the kitchen cabinet it is not possible to put a spanner in to fit the new compression fitting connections.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of new hoses similar to the old ones? Thanks.

New one will be compression so just remove the push fit connection and use the compression ones

You will have enough space as it’s the plinth so min around 4”
