Hello all. This weekend I'm installing a wall mounted runtal radiator with the supply/return lines coming through the wall. The current configuration has the pipes through the floor. Everything is copper so repiping this isn't a problem. The pipes will run up inside the wall to drop ear elbows (copper x fip). My question is, since the drop ears will be screwed tight to framing, will this be too rigid for a radiator installation? Should radiator pipes have some play for movement? Thanks

Hello all. I had to put off install till Friday. Gave me time to think about thread sealant. I was going to use pink Teflon tape like I have in the past (never a leak) but was going to maybe use rectorseal 5. I've heard really good things about it. Since the joint will be inside the wall I want to have the best seal possible. Like I said, I never had any issue with pink Teflon but if rectorseal is more dependable I'll use that. Thanks
