    hello, i am moving a radiator approx 1m away (10mm pipe), can i use speedfix connectors without turning the mains off? i have a gravity fed system and have had nothing but chew previously when draining the system.

    yes you can use speedfit connectors , you can also use compression fittings, if you use speedfit make sure if you are joining onto copper to use a pipe cutter to cut the copper, this will slightly bevel the pipe edge and not damage the O rings in the speedfits, use inserts on plastic pipe too

    if doing live, make sure you have a hose pipe handy, leading to drain, incase things go wrong, you can jammed hose on end of pipe, and water is then fed outside and not all over the floor lol
