Hi,

I'm looking to add some radiators into my property and ideally looking to match the style of the existing ones. I cannot seem to find anything online to match. I assume this style of radiator is no longer manufactured, but I might be able to pick one up second hand.

Can anyone help me identify the style of radiator, or possibly even the manufacturer?

Thanks in advance.

Potterton top rad
Not been available for probably 40 years. Had some fairly micky mouse short brackets!
Will be imperial sized.
Thanks for the reply. A google of 'Potterton top rad' doesn't bring anything up?

I wasn't expecting 40 years old! Hoping I can find something second hand somewhere.
 
Unfortunately they are ancient certainly about in early 70s used to fit them with myson 'matchmate' valves .
Standard boiler of time was vulcan continental!
 
I’m surprised there not leaking by now time for a change
 
Yeah appreciate they might be old. But if I can find the correct name/type/style then I might be able to find something online somewhere. Its finding out what they are is the tricky part right now.
Why would they leak? Unless there is a crack on the rad itself, then they should be fine when new valves are added. Have blasted and inspected a number of them and so far all good
