Well your width is about 530mm so something like this is probably what you are after:

As for valves, you need to get the right ones for the pipes you have. to me they look like they might be 10mm pipes but you should check.

 

[leedrummond]

the pipes i have are microbore

 

[leedrummond]

so i would need 2 of these ?

There are 2 diameters of microbore - 8mm and 10mm so you need to check which you have.

Also you will probably need straight valves if your pipes come out the floor.

 

[leedrummond]

8mm microbore it is.

and screwfix have told me this item is suitable, 31047

but im unsure on its width it looks to small

Are you planning on moving the pipes? If not then you actually need a wider radiator than what you've measured as the valves will be straight and verticle.

A 400mm wide radiator will mean you definitely need to move the pipes. I'd try and get something as close as possible to what you have so little or no changes are required to the pipes.

hi, thank you for your help

i dont wish o move the pipes, i just want to basically buy a chrome radiator that will fit in the gap without moving any pipework, i understand i will need some straight valves for this also, the measurement inbetween the 2 centres of the 8mm microbore pipes is 24 inches, is this a better measurement to go from and assist me

 

[AlF2008]

so you basically want a towel radiator which is approx 600mm wide provided the valve connections are on the underneath and at the outside.
