Changing to different size of radiator.

[roughcaster]

Hi Lads,
I have removed an 1100x500mm double radiator in my living room and plan to replace it with a Kudox 900x600mm double radiator. Does anyone see a problem with that idea? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies guys,
We are doing up our living room and decided to replace the old radiator as part of this. It was installed by British Gas as part of a central heating package in 1991, so we thought we'd go for a new size of radiator, and the plumber will adjust the pipework when the room is ready. I mentioned the name Kudox (from B&Q) on purpose to get a response, and I got it. My original choice was a Myson Premier from the Plumb Centre. My main question would be: By changing from an 1100x500mm double to a 900x600mm double, would the difference in size of the new rad, make any adverse difference to the running of system. Thanks again.

You may need to balance your rads but should work ok.
