Hi all
Grateful for any suggestions with the following.
I had a hole develop in one of the 2 rads I had in my lounge. So I decided to replace them.
Closed off the valves, took them both off and emptied them - now they are quite old, so the replacements are different sizes (one is too narrow, the other too wide) - but these are the closest I could get the the original sizes.
The one that is too small has horizontal pipes which I don't think would be too hard to extend somehow, but the one that is too wide, has it's pipes coming up vertically, (and separately) from the wall (the poke through the wall, and bend up 90 degress up to valves if you see what I mean - sorry if I'm not describing it very well) - there is hardly any give in them.
Can I ask what the easiest and quickest way would be to get this rad to fit? is there any way to extend the pipes slightly upwards and out or would it be best to bend them out and down?
The system isn't drained at the moment, and I was hoping to avoid that?
Anyway, you can probably tell I'm no DIY expert - hence I'm looking for guidance / suggestions, so any would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
