Looking for vertical rad with pipe installation at top.

[rednev]

Hi,

We currently have a horizontal radiator in our hallway, along with some pipes that run down the wall near corner of room that look a bit ugly.

We are in process of getting a new combi so WAS thinking of changing the horizontal rad with a vertical one to 1) free up wall space 2) hide the pipes that come through the ceiling.

Originally I was toying with the idea of getting a vertical rad that had enough space behind it to allow the pipes to run down the back of it, and then be fitted to the bottom of the rad, a bit like this:



, however I have seen the Stelrad Classic with Style vertical radiator seems to have a top pipe fitting.

Here is a pic from the brochure:

I was wondering if there are any other vertical radiators out there that have similar fittings at the top, so would mean I would have to get my pipes chased into the wall and minimum amount of pipework be seen?

Cheers

Cheers... looks almost identical to the Stelrad! Any other slightly diff designs with top connections?

B&q have a wide selection of designer rads. I once fitted a corner rad, half round type shape for the same reasoning you are after...

Cheers Gassafe.

Have to rule a corner rad out as it would be right next to a window.

The pipes we have running down the wall arent right in the corner of the room either. Thanks for heads up though.
