In need of a radiator 1430 long , i maybe wrong but think this is an awkward size anyone know where i can get one this long as really can't be bothered to alter pipes .

Its a k1 rad

Ask Ray, he may be able to help you. Failing that, get 1400, then use extended radiator tails.

those tails look carp tho trying to avoid that

Any 1400L + 2x15mm C/P 1/2"M&F extensions on each side ?

The little fixed length ones are the best, they will hardly notice.

In that case, try these!

To get the rad size you mentioned will be difficult and if you do get it, it will be expensive.

IN my opinion 15mm extention either side won't really be noticed

Just so you know, Ray stocks them as well. Think I bought some of him in Feb? Can't remember???

Myson premier do a 1454 long rad if you have any give in the other direction, other than that I think its 1400 and an extension.

Myson imperial sizes do a 57 inch long rad which must be in metric about 1430 long.
I measure the pipe centres as some rads have not the threads out to the edges

a drayton radiator tail with drain off will add 20-30mm to one side.

Cant the pipe work be altered ?

I used a pair of the screwfix telescopic tails a couple of weeks ago, no problems yet!

 

[chris watkins]

Yet, being the operable word.

Those telescopic ones can leak everywhere. Wouldn't trust them with a barge pole.

I gave them a whirl on gravity heating in a bungalow, don't think I'd trust them on anything pressurised. I was in a bind and it was a Friday afternoon with 10mm pipe coming up through laminate with the freeze kit on it. No way was that beggar getting drained and messed with.
