advice for hanging a chrome towel rail using microbore

[bengriffiths]

Hi,I have a radiator to fit,anyone got any advice for hanging a chrome towel rail using microbore? i have fit these before,but not using microbore.
will the brackets hold it ok? as 15mm seen to sit on it,so the brackets just hold it to the wall? the brackets normally are weak arent they? any advice?
cheers

the brackets should be no problem on an rad as you don't use the pipes to surport the rad.
and towel rails are only light compaired to a double convector rad.

HI

fits just as normal as with 15mm pipe however if possible why not increase the size to 15mm chrome which will change the look with chrome towel rail

I have never fitted a towel radiator using microbore and don't know many people that do- except diy'ers -for one good reason- it looks rubbish.
Convert to 15mm under the floor before coming up to the valves.
You should not be relying on the pipes to support the radiator. A big no no.
Bracket it to the wall properly or you are asking for trouble.
