replacing radiator
Reply with quote Thanks

I want to replace a radiator with a towel radiator, but the valves currently exisitng come into the radiator from the side, whereas the towel radiator is designed for the entry from below, what sort of angled solution can I use? I cant move the pipes due to the flooring. I have looked on the web but can't find any appropriate L shaped connectors.

thanks

I guess the T/R is narrower than the rad?.......use 2 new straight valves on the T/R and use chromed pipe and compression fittings to connect from old pipes to new valves.got to drain down tho` icon_cry.gif Better ideas may be posted....keep watching and good luck.
