Replacing old towel radiator - new one is narrower!

[terryplumb]

hi, if you really are not that bothered about how it looks ,you can do it quite easy with 2 offset shower bar fittings ( as old and bold posted earlier) and 2 , 3/4 female to 15mm compression couplers ( chrome plated or brass ).as long as you have around 3 to 4 inches between bottom of rad and your valves ( or can move rad up higher if you really get stuck). I have a couple of the offsets if you have difficulty getting them. or I can bend you a couple of 15 mm copper ,chrome plated , lengths of tube.regards terry.

Fook me an abortion is looming...
Just tweek the pipework under the floor in order to get correct centre to centre.

If the floor is wood,then enlarging the pipe holes to bring the pipes in a few more mm.

Also Have seen shower bar offset fittings used in conjunction with 3/4" radiator valve,

.View attachment 122125

The radiator valve entry tappings are 1/2" BSP , what use would those 3/4" offset fittings be???
The advise given out on here is frustrating to say the least.
We have another thread whereby the the OP is asking about short courses in plumbing.
Industry gone to the dogs , every man and his dog think this plumbing/heating game is a breeze to which can be taught in a couple of months...

Like I said Steel... "noodle the pipework"

He'll be lucky if the pipework centres itself from wall to valve outlet (depth)..
"Noodle"??..you mean "tweak/manipulate.??
