New radiators

westy23

Happy new year all
Will be having a new valiant boiler and valiant unistor cylinder fitted soon and will need to have most of my radiators replaced, can anyone reccomend a good quality longlasting radiator.
I have been looking at the stelrad elite range, any good?
thanks

Dunno about the elite - I have had stelrad softline radiators fitted recently and they are very warm.

most new rads are crap and thin they will do the job
circa fernox f1/f3 clean/inhibit your system
screwfixes budget range seem okay to me
at least the washer mounts/plastic slots are big which is
a breath of fresh air

they do not rattle the domestic user complained
about a silly piece of plastic
and someone at screwfix

took an interest
the thick plastic radiator " easy clips "

make the installation better

gosh someone english was tired of expansion/conraction hoorah
:rotfl::(:):T:money::p:D:(:easter_os:bdaycake::rudolf::xmassmile:snow_laug
radiators rattle and they are noisy when temperature increases and decreases ......expansion of metal occurs
big radiator clips are " good " hello
hairfelt wrapped around your pipework in joist notches
a 1 metre length of copper pipework getting hot expands by 1mm
therfore a 3m length of copper pipework hot expands by 3mm
on corners it cracks and splits
dont be a cowboy get some real training
or study
IF IN DOUBT ASK
A VENTURI IS SIMPLY A WHIRLPOOL CREATING NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE PRESSURES

A DIAGRHPRHAM ACTING ON PRESSURE FROM AIR
OR GAS WHEN AN OBJECT HITS THE TYPHOON THE
PRESSURE CHANGES " A STICK IN A WHIRLPOOL CHANGES HOW THE WHIRLPOOL WORKS "

Stelrad will be fine. I recently put 5 new DeLonghi rads in my own house, very nice looking but can't comment on how long they'll last.
Avoid any budget range!

a radiator is a radiator love

michael_nod

they are all cheap and thin
which is good

michael_nod

school style radiators use more metal and more hot central heating water

therefore are less efficient than modern rads

which are crap

a much of a muchness

basically all crap

the actual hot water part of a modern radiator is two thirds
pressed metal
and one thirds heat
not very efficient

go for a wocester sealed system boiler cat a
and a heatre sadia unvented hot water system
200 litre at least
heatra sadias nasa engineers did a good job on that megaflow cylindr

michael_nod

nasa heating engineers designed the heatre sadia megaflow
and it is megga " wow "

Bit of a pity that are now owned by Baxi then. Never mind.

From now Karl is to be referred to as Napolean XIV. No exceptions.
