Hi folks,

I am about to change a radiator in my house from a basic one (like this, size is 600x1500) to something like this http://www.screwfix.com/p/acova-classic-2-column-designer-radiator-white-600-x-1410mm-4637btu/93661

Would this be acceptable? I don't need the extra heat, it just looks better.

The rad in question is one of two which is fed from 15mm pipes and all rads are controlled with evoHome TRVs.
I have a new Worcester 28i installed so it should be ok from that point?

Would it be ok to super-size it but allow the TRV to reduce the flow to acceptable level?

Thanks
Crispin
