Looking for a bathroom towel heater radiator

[Padraig Clarke]

Not sure if I have an odd shaped, old bathroom rad, but trying to find a new modern towel heater radiator to replace it.

Does anyone know where I can buy a radiator, where the values point outwards (not down like regular rads). You can see the pipes point inwards.

If you turn the valve 90 degrees it will point up. However ,the distances between the valves ,and the distance from the wall to the valves ,is unlikely to bring them to a position where they will align exactly to whatever towel radiator you buy. Almost inevitable plumbing will need altering .

Before you do this, you should be aware that a towel warmer will only emit about one third of the heat that a single radiator of the same size does, and that is reduced down to almost nothing when it is covered with fluffy insulating towels. Reducing the heat source in a bathroom by more than two thirds can make a huge difference to the comfort level. So, unless your bathroom is super warm, (ie you don't need to have the existing radiator on much) then you should be looking at installing another radiator as well as a towel warmer.

What are the dimensions pipe centre to pipe centre, about 750mm? That the pipe centres for the rad you'll need.
Something like this might be suitable?

For it to not look like a dogs dinner some pipe alterations will need to be done
