Replacing radiator with towel radiator

[prada]

Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me.

I want to replace the radiator in my bathroom with a towel radiator. The problem is that the existing pipes are 8mm and the new radiator I've been looking at says it's 22mm.

Do I need to get the pipes replaced or is there some sort of converter on the market?

I am a complete noob to anything related to plumbing so all advice is greatly appreciated .

Many thanks

you sure your reading it right as they tell you they are made from 22mm tubing

The towel radiator detail says 22mm tubes.

I want to replace the existing valves with chrome ones to match the new radiator. Can I get values that will fit the existing 8mm pipes and fit the new radiator?

Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions.

Many thanks

yes you can get 8mm valves or use 15mm rad valves with reducers to bring it down to 8mm.
you'll probably have to alter the main pipework as changing from a standard rad to a towel rad they don't line straight up.
