Hi all
My first post here and after a little advice, please.
I have a downstairs shower room and the old towel rail (now thrown away) had pipes that are under the concrete floor. Since throwing the old rad and refurbishing the room I’ve noticed the pipes are an odd size.
The centres are 425mm and can’t find another rad anywhere that fits this size.
I have picked up a 450mm wide towel rad from my local merchant and the centres on this are 410mm.
Is there any way that I can bring the old pipes in somehow without getting a plumber round to sort it??
Am I able to use plastic via compression fits to the existing copper coming out the floor??
Was thinking this way there would be some flex to make up the additional 7.5mm each side?
Hopefully this makes sense.
Thank you
Chris
