Raw metal radiators

[MellowshipSlinky]

Too traditional for mine - I’ll need to have normal ones.

Found these in black nickel

I’ll post a pic of the bracket when I get home today.

If the brackets won’t work for you, you can also get feet for these rads to make them floor standing.

Could then just add a couple of stays to hold the rad safely to the wall.

Why would you fit those and not Cast Iron ones and benefit from the "heat sink" of the iron >?

For me, these are just that bit more contemporary than chunky iron ones.
Iron ones also tend to be floor mounted which I don’t want. (and incredibly heavy and slow to warm up)

And, I prefer the look of these

Fair play

Here’s the wall bracket - (imagine the pic the right way up..!)


As you can see there’s two ridges for the bracket attached to the rad to drop into.
The first one is 70mm from the wall to the valve centre, the second is 80mm.

This is the clamp that goes on the rad

With that number of litres (hanging weight) have you considered these under the top row ?

Yes, had seen those.
However, this 600 x 1200 rad has 6 brackets included.
Not really sure I need them all though.

And the vertical force is taken by what ? For me I did not like the clamp2clip type wall stay/bracket but these are not iron so less weighty.

[MellowshipSlinky]

I suppose it’s taken by three bottom brackets?

I’m assuming there shouldn’t be an issue if these are what the manufacturer sends with the rads.
6 brackets, 3 wall fixings in each one - surely should be sufficient?

Into brickwork thats plenty.

Finally got these fitted and up and running.
Absolutely love them, and seem to be a bit of a talking point with people who haven’t seen this finish before.

That looks great
