Install a tall 1800mm x 600mm rad in my bathroom fed from above.

Hi everyone, apologies if this is a dumb question. I want to fit a tall rad in my bathroom which will be fed from above, but I would like to keep the pipework to a minimum. Is it necessary to run both pipes to the bottom of the rad, flow to the bottom and return to the top, or will it work with both to the top? Many thanks.

Depends on the rad it need to have baffles inside

Thanks ShaunCorbs, I don't know off hand whether it has baffles or not as it is a rad I am moving and is currently in use. Presumably I will be able to tell once I have it disconnected??
If it has baffles will it run successfully with both pipes at the top?
