Radiator question
- Thread starter Psmk222
- Start date
Any 1300 X 600 will fit.
How will a 1300 rad fit between 1275 spaced rad pipes without altering the pipes?
OP, you need to go the next size down from 1275 (1200) and fit extended rad tails.

Please explain how a rad that is 25 mm wider ,could still align with the pipework.
There will be sufficient movement of existing pipework to enable it to fit. You only need 12.5 either side.

Having not seen the pipework installation ,that's quite an assumption.
And an implication that appearances do not matter
It's also down to how you measure, the 1300 will be no wider than the 1275.
Won't be any play whilst radiator is connected.
