I have a five sided bay window in the master bedroom. To save space I want to put three rads together in the bay window rather than on an internal wall. I am thinking of installing three radiators side by side and then use a piece of 15mm copper pipe to connect them top and bottom rather than going to the expense of a purpose built rad. Does anybody know if this is ok to do or will this contravene building regs in some way?

Its ok and many where done like this years ago , not always very pretty looking though.
Thanks for that, hopefully connectors will be short and when painted blend in with painted wall behind. Does anyone know of a good BTU calculator site. Have used three e.g. B&Q, radiator suppliers and I have varying results from 3500BTU to 7900BTU for the same room?Sponsored Links
I'm guessing this is not a DIY job and you need to find someone with a press?
Last one I had done cost £80 including the radiator! The guy i use is semi retired and pretty much does it to keep himself busy. But the point is its not really that expensive and a very simple process, if you can find someone local to do it for you it will look far better.
