We've had some tatty rads removed as part of work going on & i'd rather they were replaced although not essential.
I thought the one in the hallway (600mm wide -x- 700mm high) was a strange size but looking on the screwfix site you can pick these up ok enough so that's ok. Like for like it would seem.
There is one in the living room though that is 950mm wide -x- 600mm high.
The pipe work already looked sort of bent to fit in, leaning backwards kind of thing rather than in to it if you get me?
Those carrying out the work at our house are not plumbers. They can remove & refit but that's about it.
The rad is a double panel single convector. Is it ok to slightly bend pipe work (10mm copper) or is there no other way other than cutting & soldering?
If so is it better to bend for a bigger rad (1000mm) or a smaller rad (900mm) - so basically +/- 50mm?
When the plumber changed the main one i know he had to re-route the pipe work (we went from a 1760mm to an 1800mm) & i'm sure he either had to or he just did - cut & solder.
