Searching for new radiator 450mm x 1700mm

[big10uk]

Hi there,

I have an old single pannel radiator that I would like to change for a new double covector radiator.

I size of the my old radiator is 440mm H x 1700mm W.

Should I go for a 450mm x 1600mm and use extenders? or go 450mm x 1800mm and move / bend the inlet & outlet pipe?

Any advise would be great.

Cheers

James

Yes really cold with the current rad on max and the thermostat set to 30c its gets to 17c in room.

when i calcuate my room size vs BTU i need about 7000
