I want to remove a radiator from my bathroom and cap off the pipes.
Can i use those speedfit end caps as the cut off copper pipe will be under the floorboards.

Hi yes you can but get the push on ones that have a screw nut that tightens up after you push the pipe in, that way it wont come out as they have a 20 year warranty. HTH Twiggy:D:D

Yes you can, but make sure your not on a single pipe system ? if you are you will have to join the pipes back together in order for the heating to continue working.
