Radiator question

[Psmk222]

I'm looking to replace a radiator in my bedroom it's 1275mm x 600mm. I can't find anything this size online... its just a standard white central heating radiator. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Any 1300 X 600 will fit.

Any 1300 X 600 will fit.

How will a 1300 rad fit between 1275 spaced rad pipes without altering the pipes?

OP, you need to go the next size down from 1275 (1200) and fit extended rad tails.

This: https://www.screwfix.com/p/kudox-pr...tor-radiator-600-x-1200mm-white-5454btu/75191

And these (shorten them to suit your width) https://www.screwfix.com/p/tesla-bs...ression-rigid-trv-extension-piece-100mm/599hf

That would require extending the pipework .

Nope

Nope

Please explain how a rad that is 25 mm wider ,could still align with the pipework.

Thanks guys

There will be sufficient movement of existing pipework to enable it to fit. You only need 12.5 either side.

Having not seen the pipework installation ,that's quite an assumption.

And an implication that appearances do not matter

It's also down to how you measure, the 1300 will be no wider than the 1275.

Won't be any play whilst radiator is connected.

Well ,all you need to do now is follow this advice

And alter the pipework as / if required.
