Towel radiator pipes from floor. Basically my old chrome towel radiator had rusted so i bought a new white one instead. With these measurements you need to select the closest possible pipe centre on the towel rail size. We recommend you to measure just above the floor or wall where the pipes come out. Too much work to lift the boards etc.

Hi we live in a newish house with plastic heating pipes dropped in the walls. The old one had pipe centres of 420mm the new one has 405mm. The pipes would either have to bend in symmetrically which will look odd. I m about to tile the room and at the same time install a towel rail radiator.

Simply turn off your heating then isolate your old radiator by shutting off the valves on either side before removing it from the wall. In that case there s no need to drain your system or to take up your flooring and skirting boards. Both are 450mm wide which i stupidly thought was all i needed to measure. A bathroom radiator is a great way to complete the look of any bathroom but also has the practical use of warming your towels.

This is a standard installation. Normally pipe centers on ladder type towel rails are 40mm less than the width of the towel rail.

In the wc there is currently a small rad the pipes are central behind it and brought out onto microbore copper behind the rad which is ok as they are fixings don t show. When used in conjunction with a towel radiator as above this means that the copper pipes will come up from the floor and into the bottom of the radiator via the valves. These free standing radiators can also be a practical option removing the need for wall brackets where room proportions prevent it. A common misconception is that your radiator width will help you figure out your pipe centres but you could be out by a few centimetres depending on what your current radiator set up looks like.

Centre of the pipe to centre of the pipe. My pipes don t come up out of the floor. I now realise that the important measurement i should have taken was the pipe centres. The holes around the pipes are fairly wide so there s lots of give.

They also have the ability to elevate more contemporary interiors to chic and luxury status. The hole in the floor around the pipe can be covered with escutcheon such as part 551016674.
