ARC cast iron rad buyers??

[Neil T]

Hi all,
Anyone know of any companys that buy original American Radiator Company cast iron roads around Manchester or in north west?
Got one off a customer that will need some tlc 60h x 43l x 14w (cm) , 4 columns and 8 sections. Got be worth something to someone rather than scrap it. Btw, what would I get for it scrap? Probably weighs in region of 35-40kg.
Cheers

scrap about £10

unless you have alot of them tbh there not worth it, maybe have a word with a local scrap place or someone like this

normally take used and refurbish them

Cheers for that Shaun, sent an email with a couple of pics to castrated.. they're actually not too far from me 🙂
Did that customer ever get in touch about water heaters?

yes and sorted a price, he said your doing all the first fix and we just need to connect to your tails through the floor that your going to leave

tmv3 on the toilets basins i belive your having and think your supplying the 50mm push fit waste from the stack for the t and p

secondary returns on the bar area and toilets

if we get the job will give you either a pm or phone call

think he will have a shock with the price tho tbh 3ph 500l single cylinder recover time of under 60mins etc

Lol just seen that predictive text put castrated instead of castrad 🙂
Yeah, just waiting to go in and chat with joiners about the pipe runs and for start date.
What's the 't and p' in "push fit waste from the stack for the t and p" Btw?

No worries will have that in place. Need to find out off him where exactly he wants it sited too as I believe there's been a change of plan.
Yea, just let us know what happens your side and we might meet up on the job 🙂

I did put quote in for 28mm mains but will let him know. Do you need it at 35mm up to heaters?

yes better if we have to reduce the right way rather than the wrong way

 

[Neil T]
