I have a small bathroom radiator which is on its last legs and I would like to replace it with a towel radiator.
The bathroom floor is tiled with the radiator pipes coming up through th efloor and tiles.
I have measured the distance between the pipes which is 550mm. The pipes are copper 15mm therefore I assume this means pipe centre is 565mm?
So now the dilema. The towel radiators I have to choose between have pipe centres of 550mm and 560mm. Which one should I go for?
From my figures above it would suggest that whichever version I choose the pipes will be slightly too far apart for the radiator and seeing as the floor is tiled and grouted I'm not sure whether I will be able to manipulate the pipes any.
If I go for the radiator which has pipe centre of 560mm do you think I would be able to persuade it to fit to my copper pipes which have the 565mm pipe centre?
If not then how would I go about making it fit?
Many thanks
Andy
