Radiator sizes

[joshall]

Just a quick question. I have a radiator that is 124 cm by 45 cm, I would like to replace it with the minimum amount of adjustment to the pipework. What size radiator should I get?

124cm * 45cm

 

[dextrous]

1240mm by 450mm

Apart from the vintage wallpaper behind the old rad, your main issue is the distance between the valves. There is a little adjustment you can make by how far the valve tails are screwed into the new rad. Or you could extend these if your new rad is smaller, but if the new rad is wider, then your pipework will obviously need to be reconfigured.
