There is no windows sill, radiator installed on the wall without windows.
Both to be honest if its acceptable or its just moved because radiator is heavy.
900mm thats the length of radiator. And photos of spirit level are taken from both side of radiator( one from left side and one from the right side).
What are those slots are used for then?
Whats the the correct way to level radiator? level the brackets before hanging radiator or adjust level when its already on brackets?
Hello again Mixmaker,
I hope that I am understanding your question about whether it was acceptable for someone to have hung the radiator that you are asking about 10mm out of level ?
The answer is NO unless as I and other Members previously described it was to overcome the radiator looking really bad compared to other surfaces / lines that would normally be supposed to be level - such as Floors or Window sills etc. but which are not level.
As we described sometimes Heating Engineers / Heating Installers will hang a radiator out of level to make it less visually unacceptable related to the visual datum's above and below it - that is often what the customer wants - not a radiator that looks so far out of level that it is an eyesore / a constant irritant to the customer.
Member Ben-gee has described the best way to hang a radiator - the brackets should be levelled up correctly before hanging the radiator.
The hanging lugs on the back of the radiator are almost always precisely welded onto the radiator so there should be no reason why they should throw the radiator out of level when it is hung onto the brackets.
The radiator bracket SLOTS are so that the second or sometimes third bracket can be temporarily fixed using one screw in the lower slot and then the bracket adjusted to level up with the first permanently fixed bracket before then completing the fixings by using the screw hole at the top of those other brackets so that the weight of a radiator cannot push the bracket downwards.
When a radiator is fixed to the wall as described by Member Ben-gee [and me above] it would be level with no further adjustment needed and because the radiator bracket top screw holes have been used the radiator brackets cannot slide down at all even with very heavy radiators.
