Is this a 'tall' column rad? What's the issue - trapped wind? barp...1 -
Thanks all.
Think we are going to go with column rads. Guess they are deemed as "designer" rads
What is the reasoning behind using Loctite (over PTFE tape) for these rads?
Going to go with Screwfix's Acova range. The BTU ratings are based on Delta 50, which is good.
Is 20% sufficient to "overshoot" the BTU calculations?0
