Towel Radiator help please

[Dougie212]

Hi.

I am looking to replace our current standard bathroom radiator with a chrome towel radiator. The width of the current radiator is 550mm excluding the valves.

I have looked around for a 550mm towel radiator and they appear to be few and far between unless they are extortionately priced. I dont want to be paying £100's for it. I have seen that 500mm is far more readily available and reasonably priced but obviously the difference of 50mm is my issue.

Would it be acceptable to attach a small link from the valve to the radiator to make up that 250mm each side? the pipes come through holes in the floor tiles so i dont really want to be moving them so I thought a link would solve this.

Anyone with any suggestions please?

Many thanks

Dougie

View media item 39743 It's quite acceptable to either use extension pieces or make them up as shown here.

thankyou for you fast response 45yeargasman!!

Chuffed!!...

Just out of interest, is there anywhere you would recommend getting a towel radiator from..? I'm a screwfix regular so was going to head there unless otherwise advised.

Thanks again!!
