Radiator

Posted by James Hammond, on
Hi, have purchased a new radiator that is shorter than the one I'm replacing. What do I need to bring the gap? thanks

Hi james, you have a couple of options. The best asthetically would be to lift a part of the floor and adjust pipework underneath to fit your new radiator exactly. If cost is a bit more of a factor then depending on the gap you require bridging, you can buy telescopic extension pieces that you can fit to one or both sides of the raditor to the valves.

What would you like to do now?
