relocated pipwork for rad in bathroom

Hi all

i have relocated some pipework. I will once i know my plumbing doesnt spring any leaks fit a towel rad on the pipes. However i need to test the plumbing and i was wondering if i could just cap off the two copper pipes and see if I spring any leaks. Or am i better off putting the towel rad on and then testing and then taking it off for tiling.

    Just cap the pipes with push-fit blanking caps, which can easily be removed after the test. Alternatively. fit the towel rail and test it, before removing it for the tiling. Or, as you will obviously be using radiator valves, you can fit and test up to these, before you fit the rail. Its mainly common sense. I hope this helps.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
