    Hello, I had a few tips on taking out my old radiator and replacing it with a towel warmer(on this site). All seemed to go OK. I drained the system as told, cut the radiator pipes, channelled a new hole in the plaster board (I have wall valves), and with a mixture of speed-fit devices, conected...

    Hello, I have just removed my radiator and want to move the pipes up the wall to fit a new towel warmer. I intend to use some soldered capillary fittings and rather than use a blow torch to heat them up, I have read in a DIY manual that electric tongs are available that clamp round the fitting...

    Replacing a Radiator with a Chrome Towel Warmer

    Hello, I have decided to remove my radiator and replace it with a towel warmer. My bathroom is quite small and warm, so I dont need the extra heat a radiator gives off.
