Even though I'm DIY, my fear was that the heat output would be different and possibly inferior in some way. Hence my questions. Ive got to balance that against the output I get from a traditional rad cloaked by a sofa though. Thanks for all the advice so far..

Ok,couple more questions please.. The existing rad is a single of 5ft x 70cm The designer rad we like is rated at 7775 BTUs. Is that a satisfactory replacement? Secondly, the system is a Vaillant Eco Tec plus 831 feeding at total of 12 various rads around the house. The manifold is 22mm but...
