Hello. Can anyone put me right. I am thinking of replacing an old single panel radiator with a new one. The dimensions of the new metric radiator is almost identical to the old one in width and height. However, when the rad is fitted to the brackets on the wall the rad tail centre is
45mm but the valve centre on the 15mm central heating pipe is 55mm. How do you align the two to get the valve to fit to the rad tail with a 10mm difference. Fit half inch wooden battens to the wall to take out the gap and fit the brackets to it? Also, do you have to take in to account anything else besides the radiator width and height when replacing?
Thank you for your help.
