What are standard size radiators?
While size or shape of space no longer needs to be a constraint, it’s likely that your existing radiators, if not installed in the last few years, do fit the previous standards for radiators. These were, traditionally, 700mm x 1400mm at the smallest and 600mm x 2400mm at the largest for horizontal radiators.
How do you measure the size of a radiator?
- Measure radiator height. It’s easy to measure your radiator height – just take your tape measure from the lowest point of your radiator to the highest.
- Measure radiator width.
- Measure pipe centres.
- Measure wall surface to pipe centres.
What is the diameter of a radiator?
The radiator circuits in most modern wet central heating systems are made from standard 15mm copper pipe, while the pipes that link the boiler, pump and points where the circuits split off will be 22mm or 28mm in diameter.
What is the smallest width radiator?
Milano Aruba – White Horizontal Designer Radiator 400mm x 415mm (Double Panel) Now if you thought the last Aruba radiator was small, wait until you see this one! This tiny square radiator is a mere 400mm x 415mm and it is the smallest radiator we stock. In fact, you won’t find a radiator much smaller anywhere.
What is the difference between a Type 21 and Type 22 radiator?
The main difference between Type 21 and Type 22 radiators is the layers of fins, also known as the number of convectors. Type 21 convector radiators feature 2 panels which encase a single layer of fins. A Type 22 radiator is therefore generally wider than a Type 21 radiator.
What height is a standard radiator?
150mm
Vertical radiators come in many sizes, but typically 1800mm high and 600mm long. Typically, standard radiators are mounted so that the bottom of the radiator is 150mm from the floor. The governing factor from an aesthetic point is the height of the skirting boards that will be present.
Does size of radiator matter?
If your radiator is too big, it will minimize essential wall space and use excess energy whenever it is in operation. By contrast, if your radiator is too small, it won’t have the capacity to properly heat your space to the required temperature.
What height should a radiator be off the floor?
Radiators should typically be mounted so that the foot of the radiator is positioned a minimum of 150mm from the floor. The height of nearby floorboards could influence how high a radiator is fitted, if only for aesthetic reasons.
How many radiators can you run off 15mm pipe?
I wouldn’t recommend ever running more than 3 radiators on one 15mm branch. It’s far better practise to tee off the main flow/return pipes for each radiator if possible. You might get away with more radiators but I wouldn’t hook up more than 13.5K btus worth of radiators to one 15mm pipe run.
What is the narrowest radiator you can get?

Why are radiators under windows?
Windows are traditionally the worst insulated surfaces in a building shell. In the twentieth century, to combat that cold feeling and keep the room comfortably warm, radiators were always placed under a window. The rising heat of the radiator forms a kind of hot air curtain that shields you from the cold air.
Which type of radiator is best?
