Slim (as in width from wall) radiator search

Getafix

Hello,

I'm after a smallish vertical radiator for my bathroom, something around 1800x400mm. There are lots like this around, but I also need to ensure the projection from the wall is below 80mm, as the only place a radiator can go in my bathroom, is behind the door.

Has anyone got one of these superslim radiators?
I found one here but chrome version very expensive:eek:
Any help appreciated.

Thanks

get a towel radiator mines 900 x 350 wide, sticks out 80mm from wall.
got it from homebase a couple of years ago though.

I was originally after a towel radiator, but I've not seen one that slim before.
Most of them stick out at least 100mm :undecided

I'd recommend an Abacus Elegance Linea towel rail (i've got the Radius curved one which is a bit deeper).
Go here and download the brochure and you'll see in the technical details for that rail that the distance to the wall is adjustable down to around 75mm (62mm plus half of 30mm siderail width) - though doesn't leave much room for towels.
For supplier have a look at homesupply.co.uk where we bought ours (Just looked £107.64 for white 1700x400 Abacus Elegance Linea)

Looking good :dance:

Now, this may sound like a silly question but can I plumb these into a wet system?

I know I know, but it's been a long week and I only ask because their brochure shows all the radiators installed at quite a height. Even the technical drawings?

Bear in mind that if you are hoping to use the radiator or towel rail to put towels on. The closer to the wall the fewer towels you can dry. After I installed my towel rail I had to modify the brackets with spacers in order to move it further out from the wall. This at least enabled me to put two towels on it. Whereas, before, it was only possible to get one towel on the rail.

Should be fine, I'm not too worried about getting a towel on the radiator really, I just need the final depth to be less than 75mm so I can open the door fully.
