Changing Radiators

[f49h]

Hi

I am changing my radiators in my house. I have measured them (eg 650 x 750 they all seem to be half sizes) the nearest i can get is 600 or 700. I can not move my pies (15mm copper). Does any one know where i can buy them or if a buy the size down is there anyway i can extend my pipes to fit. Buy the way is these 1/2 sizes (650, 750, etc) an old size or imperial.
thanks

You will have imperial sized rads and standard sizes are all now in metric.
You can use extendible tails, if it is difficult to adjust pipework.

Doing a house full of these week after next.


No pipes are moveable. Solution is to fit oversized rads and extend the pipes underneath the rad and enter the new valves with street elbows.
