    80mm is the lowest you can get off the shelf

    Altering cheapy plastic brackets isn’t possible

    Most of the stainless steel versions could be altered but you would need to cut and then tap a new thread . Take a look at Reina Luna or Phoenix Athena .

    Ok you mean 80mm stand-offs that determines the 80mm distance from the wall?

    If so any radiator that is lower than that 80mm distance, I dont mind whether its a towel or non towel radiator. The radiator depth itself could be super thin slim yet the standoff distance from the wall could be long making it pointless I assume.

    So after a typical depth to a towel radiator with the shortest distance from the wall you know what I mean.

    Hello coming back to this thread I am after angled towel radiator valves that don't protrude that much depth from the wall.

    Any suggestions?

    Surely that must down to the correct valve and fitting ?

    I recommend that you find a reliable radiator provider who can help you out. You can try searching the Internet since there are a lot of these providers out there today. When I was planning to purchase a towel radiator, I don't actually know where and how to set it up properly. So I talked to this seller of designer bathroom radiators that I'm considering and asked them about it. After choosing the right radiators for my requirements, they told me the best spot in my bathroom where it must be installed. I hope my answer helps!
