Installing Towel Radiator (F&E Tank query)

[Ashworth]

I am in the process of refitting my bathroom and wish to have my current radiator removed and a towel rail installed above its existing place (about 1000mm from the floor) Fitted cabinets will then be in place of the existing radiator. There are no other walls available to resite the existing radiator at a low level.

I have a Boiler Mate Thermal Storage Unit with an F&E tank on top.

My query is that if the radiator is positioned higher, although the bottom of the radiator will be below the F&E tank, the top of the radiator will be 500mm or so above it?

Will this cause a problem? Can a radiator be fitted like this?

Many Thanks

I think he means "NO".
Header tanks have to be at the top.

The F&E tank can be separted from the main tank ( I know this as I had it recently replaced). Could this be moved to a higher point in my airing cupboard? It would then be potentially higher than the towel radiator. I assuming separting the two and adjustingthe pipework won't cause a problem?

Is there a maximum height between the top of the highest radiator and the tank?

Thanks again.

I assume you meant 'minimum'. A metre or so should be fine.
