Dimensions for a new rad....

[thecarpenter]

I have taken 2 old rads out of my living room and I think they were imperial (stupidly threw them away before measuring them!) now trying to buy new ones, the gap from centre to centre of upstand pipes is 1148mm ( or internal measurement of 1108mm) what size rad do I need, anyone? thanks.

You are probably looking at 1000 mm rads but you will have to modify your old pipework.

Can't I use an 1100mm rad or extensions? thanks

If you want to and it doesn't leak, then yes.

Might look a bit naff though.

Cheers mate.

I think Bahco is nearer with the 1000mm. You have to allow about 40-50mm each end for the rad valves.

Or you could fit the Vogel & Noot Vienna Line compact range, which comes in a 1120mm model.

They are built in Austria and very well made, now part of Rettig.
