Who made the rad?

Not sure, asked the guy where he got it and he didn't know and box was unbranded. . No mi's either

Surprising it didn't have a deflector baffle to steer the flow to top of rad.
If it works fast, then happy days

Was thinking the same thing, fitted a Hudson Reed one that was a right pig with no baffle, had to pay extra for one!!

Hmmm, I'm thinking I've messed it up now.. it didn't heat up extremely fast but I put that down to all the crappie in their system as neither did the original rad. Popped to screwfix was back in half hour and it was up to full temp all over. Worst case scenario when I flush their system in a couple months I can just put the flow at the top left. You live and learn as Shaun says

The customer didn`t know any details or have any paperwork so seeing as there are different radiators out there requiring different plumbing it is not your fault as you did it the way most vertical rads need.

Just keep telling yourself that Jay and don`t fret.

I'll see how it heats once I've flushed it. Won't take 10 mins to change it over and it's peace of mind and my reputation that I'm starting to build. Cheers rpm

Should of done the valves top bottom opposite ends else it could short circuit eg go straight down the return and doesn't matter

That would look on that ran running it all up the side of the rad

I know but there's nothing you can do and tbh it's not your problem but the cus has got two options

One buy a more expensive rad with the baffel in it

Two pipe it up tboe

If it heats up in an acceptable time then jobs done, no problem. I don't think I'd want to run a feed up to the top corner , it will look pants.
