joining rads

[philtheflush]

does anyone know if you can join 3 rads together with 15mm pipe for a bay window

Not a problem, thermostatic valve on one end of the outer rad and a lock shield on other outer rad and then join middle rad to outer rads with 4 1/2 male to 15mm compression straights and a bit of 15mm bent pipework connecting,this will give the same operation as if one big radiator

yes done this, works extremely well, feed in trv, last lock shield, connected only from bottom of each rad in plastic, temp drop on last rad brilliant for return to boiler. hope thats some help.

Couldn't you just have a smaller window installed ... ?

You could one big radiator curved up by a metal fabricators, Ive just had 2 curved up to the templates I made by C S Gants in Nottingham for £52 each.
