Rusty bathroom radiator
- Thread starter bilbobaggins88
- Start date
The main part of the radiator appears to have just surface rust, but the bit where the valve tail screws in does look quite serious. I would be concerned about this leaking - it'll probably only be a weep at first, but I would get the towel rad changed reasonably soon.
If you want to avoid having to alter the pipework you'll need to look for a replacement with exactly the same dimensions, which may take a while to find

Thank you Chris, how much of a drain down would be required, I'm worried about the amount of labour involved
Turn off the rad valves and just drain down the towel rad - swap it for a like for like same size. No need to drain down anything else.
