Hi Guys,

Planning to fit a similar radiator to this into my bathroom:



One issue I foresee is where both pipes go into the floor - plan to fit it to the wall and use inline valves (for floor) that will go into a raised 'boxed' section below.

I need to get a double radiator pipe collar in metal / chrome.

Where would I get one from?

Like this but for a double pipe



I suppose I could cut two down and place next to eachother?

I'd cut two to make a figure-8 shape.

Or slightly swan the pipes so two collars can be used?

If they go into a tiled surface, grout around the pipes. Or just get the holes spot on and drill the 16mm holes with a flat bit.

Personally I think it will look a bit of a mess with a bit of boxing in below it.

You're spending presumably quite a bit of cash on a nice rad.

Chop the pipes into the wall and come out in the correct position with a bit off chrome plated copper.

The problem is that the rad pipes are channelled along the bottom edges of the Walls in the position where something like skirting would be.
The issue is that the pipes protrude out from the wall hence the requirement for some boxing albeit shallow.

Any ideas? How to avoid this?
