Hi, we need to replace our old rusty radiator in our small bathroom and would like to replace it with a towel radiator and would like to do this without having to move the current pipes coming out of the floor. We can't find a radiator with our current pipe centre size as our radiator can't be more than 480mm wide. Can I use a radiator tail valve? Our old radiator sizes are: 480mm (W) 730mm (H) and Pipe Centre is 560mm... The new radiator sizes are: 400mm (W) 1000mm (H) and the Pipe Centre is 350mm I need 105mm on each side if I am correct lol
Hope this is possible as we can't find a radiator in the old sizes.

Before you proceed, just 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. So, unless your bathroom is super warm, then you should be looking at installing another radiator as well, either that or get used to being cold in there.
