Tools required:Tape measure, pencil, power drill with masonry drill bits, spirit level, screwdriver, spanners and pipe cutter or hacksaw.Materials:Radiator, wall mounting bracket, two radiator valves 50mm, No 12 screws, rawl plugs, 15mm copper pipe, compression plumbing fittings and PTFE tape.1). Lay the radiator face down and fit the wall brackets onto the straps on the back ensuring that they are all equidistant from the outer edge and base of the radiator. If you are not confident to do this Battersea Plumbers will undertake this kind of work.2). Measure the height of the brackets then add on 50 mm this will make allowance for the skirting board. Measure the distance between the two brackets and transfer this measurement to the wall.3). Holding the first bracket in the correct position and height on the wall where the relocated radiator will be, mark the positions of the securing screw holes for drilling making sure it is level and the bracket is in the vertical plain. Drill and plug the holes and then fix the first bracket to the wall with two 50mm No12 screws.4). Position the second Bracket opposite the first and now secure bracket as per your marks. Make sure that the height is correct and that the bracket is level (to achieve this fix the bracket with one screw then check the level and drive in the second screw. This is crucial to ensure that the Radiator is level and true on completion). SW11 Plumbers have the skill to do this professionally.5). Finally offer up the replacement radiator and slip the straps on the back over the hooks on the two wall brackets. When you are satisfied that the radiator is secure and will be level, lift it off the brackets and lay on the floor. Fit both of the new radiator valves using the PTFE tape and relevant size spanner. Once you are happy that both valves are sound, replace the radiator and re-connect the rerouted pipe work again using the PTFE tape.
