Radiator stand-off

Jun 19, 2019 Last reply: 7 years ago 3 Replies

Whilst I?m in the process of fitting a new radiator, I got to wondering about which way round to fit the wall hanging brackets. They have two orientations that give two different stand-off distances. What are the pros and cons of narrow versus wide stand off?

At a guess, the wider gives slightly better convection, and the narrower is more aesthetically pleasing. In reality it might be just to allow a bit more adjustment room to match the position of existing pipe tails.

Mine tend to be large stand-off for single panels and short stand-off for doubles.

The singles have fins on the back and the doubles don't (there are some in-between), so it makes them about the same.

I agree - standard bracket for two types of rad
