Help - plastic pipes touching radiator

L

lloyd Davies

Hi. Can anyone tell me if it's ok for plastic water pipes to actually touch the radiator? Thanks

Probably ok in terms of heat resistant, but against water regulations if it’s the cold pipe, as this would cause undue warming when heating is on.
