Can you buy larger than 50mm radiator extension tails ???

[dagger]

or whatever they are called - The things that help a smaller radiator fit a larger space. Basically my old radiator was 1350mm wide and I cant find any radiators available other than 1200mm (which is too small) or 1400mm (too big obviously) am I going to have to accept the 1200mm width and have a 75mm extender on each end ??? (assuming they exist)

many thanks in advance

Yes you just screw them together as long as you like if you buy the decent solid ones....don't go for the cheap and nasty telescopic ones, you will end up with a leak.

thx ollski - but can you expand on that please - Ive used the cheap and nasty telescopic ones once before and it worked okay, but where do I get these solid screw together ones - what are they called ? and do you have a website link at all ?

thanks for your help

do you mean these ? can I literally just screw them together and when the chain is big enough I then screw one end to the pipe and one end to the rad and thats it ???

thx

Biasi make a 1300 rad. Might be worth looking into ?

yep those are exactly what I mean, the alternative is to buy a myson rad which is 1352mm...surely close enough!

You get myson rads from the PTS (Plumbing Trade Supplies) group. Always go there to match an imperial rad. BES do 75mm extensions - round or hex, sir? And a lot cheaper than the Stelrad ones.
