In this video I show how I measure up brackets to hang a radiator to existing valves. There are plenty of other methods out there too, this is just how I do it.

You can also apply foil insulation behind the radiator for three reasons: 1) aesthetics, 2) hiding wallpaper imperfections, and 3) increasing the radiator's efficiency.

Ive never seen it done with male irons and chrome pipe before, I always keep 100 mm rad extensions on the van and cut down to suit, saves a few pennies rather than buying chrome pipe, Great videos mate, always enjoy your content , keep up the good work 👍

Cheers mate, yeah I wasn't sure exactly how much I'd need either side so thought I'd give this way a go. At least I've got left over pipe now and just need to get a pair of male irons for next time

Good to watch for me, as a diy general info too. Flashback too as I had that wallpaper when I was a kid

Good job mate. I hate fitting rads on old partition walls with lats. The plaster crumbles into dust. It can be very frustrating sometimes. Does anybody have any tips? Thanks in advance.

I fitted a rad into scabby plaster that I didn't trust so put a block of wood under it the bear the weight.

sorry did i miss something ,,did you measure the brackets wrong on 2 or 3 times and the chrome pipes should have been the same distance to radiator . Are you a fully trained ?

Rad valves are too fiddly. I changed a rad in the spare room and put in elbow joints instead with quarter-turn lever inline valves. Great when the rad is very seldom needed.
