Anyone fit any of the K3 convertor rads that come with legs? The legs look adjustable what's the best way of hanging them?

I have seen a few complaints about these rads not giving their rated outputs, mainly I think, because one panel doesn't heat to any great degree.

Obviously will weigh more.

In the past when had to use these, walls were brick so no issue- did not need the brackets.
 
Thanks just wondering if you hang the radiator. Then fit the legs to suite afterwards?
 
The legs are a supplementary support, like you get with the older columns, there would normally still be wall brackets. They reduce the pulling force on the top wall brackets given the extra panels weight. Yes they are adjustable to support varying heights. The nut and square washer loosen allowing the top bracket to be moved up and down the slots in the leg.

Nothing less than 15mm pipe will work with these rads, if the system's microbore then it's not worth it unless there's only a couple of rads. The system will also need finely balanced to support these larger rads, like any other system that has larger than normal rads.
 
Worth a read?.
