I've just got a vertical radiator and I understood that these had a top and bottom - with some sort of baffle at the bottom to direct water up and down the tubes.
With this one, you can see straight through the fitting holes from one side to the other at either end of the radiator. This says to me that when the hot water flows in at one side, it will just flow straight out the other side directly opposite without traveling up the tubes.
Is my reasoning correct? Is the radiator a dud or just a crap design?
I don't want to fit it and adjust all the pipework only for the bottom part of the radiator to get hot.
