Existing heating pipes wont reach new towel radiator??

[bazza1410]

My new towel radiator sticks out quite far from the wall and i cant get my plastic pipes to reach. Can you get different valves which bend back towards the wall which then will allow me to push the plastic pipes into the compression fitting?

No, you can't, you'll need to use elbows on the pipework

Can you not do something like this ?

Necessity is the mother of invention.


If the rad doesn't need to go back towards the wall too much, sometimes you can cut some length off of the plastic mounting brackets. Works well if you cut them squarely.
