Hi
I'm decorating the bathroom in our new house and I have purchased this towel rail to replace the small radiator which was in there. I went for a larger size as I have read they do not give out as much heat, hopefully this will do the trick.
I could use a couple of points of advice.
Can I just re-bend the 10mm pipes into position to fir the towel rail? The will more or less need to be inline with the old rad brackets which you can see in this picture
I also cant decide whether to have the pipes coming straight up from the floor to the base of the towel rail, or channel them in. Its a solid brick wall on a Victorian terrace, there's only a very thin layer of plaster there, maybe 15mm. Will channelling even be possible?
last question, I think the feed and flow are 22mm, the connections from them to the rad are 10mm. Will 10mm be enough for a towel rail this size, or should I look at upgrading to 15mm? The website states it has a BTU of 2279 which seems a bit optimistic to me.

Thanks in advance
