Thank you and well done for the essential details and lots of professional tips and procedures to follow. As a lay person, not a plumber, when I have replaced old radiators I always install twin convector radiators and I prefer to mount the radiator brackets short face against the wall so the radiator gains around 3/8 more clearance between itself and the wall and I think there is then more heat radiated into the room.
@daviddavies8637 thanks David. Keep an eye out on the channel, there will be plenty more videos coming soon 👍 I agree,I think double convector rads can look terrible when there stuck out on the big brackets. But technically they should have better airflow behind the rad which would mean a better heat output but i can't imagine it would be noticeable
Job's a good'un. Not a lot of admiration for PTFE in the trade, but I learned it in college and I have plenty in stock, so when it runs out, may well try liquid PTFE. Until then, like you, PTFE has been my bread n butter, no probs. Only when the fitting is close to the wall or surrounding that you don't have the room to wound it about in situ, would liquid PTFE have to come in.
You made that look easy 😅
Thank you John,
I like to think that its experience that makes it look easy.

As a professional you should be sizing the radiator to the heat requirements of the room
