Hi

We have a 10ft radiator in our living room that we are wanting to take out and fit a double in its place to still keep the same heat, the new radiator can be 6-7ft double which then would give us more room to alter our room as the 10ft 1 is too big

Advice please if this is possible to do

Yes it's possible, if you post the details of the old rad we can match the size for you.

Hi Not sure on the make off it as no name visable, the length is 10ft or 305 and the hight is 60, there is no fins on the back as its a older version i think before fins came out.
The pipe work is also in 8mm by the looks off it as looks to thin for 10mm

Bit large, and may need some delicate balancing with 10mm pipe.

They were always crap Barlos with the bleeds on the back in Wickes. :pukeleft:

If the bleed screw is on the back avoid it like the plague or you will regret it!

Screwfix Kudox rads are on offer and very good for the money, I'd go for the P+ myself, really neat :wink:
