I have a 600mm wide by 600mm high Type 21 radiator. Can I replace this with another Type 21 radiator of the same width without changing my pipework?

I have found a Type 21 radiator by Kartell that is 600mm wide and 900mm high. My existing is a 600mm by 600mm by Heatline.

  • Should fit no problem - you normally have a small amount of tolerance with the pipes anyway (unless they are in concrete). Its normally only when replacing imperial for metric rads that you might need the pipework modifying.

    Double check the distances from the wall though (they should have a range as brackets normally provide two depth options).
