If you want to replace your old bathroom radiator, you quickly come up against a crucial question: what dimensions must the new radiator have so that the existing connections can still be used? If you don’t answer this question carefully, you risk expensive follow-up work, raised tiles and unnecessarily long installation times. <\/p>\n
The good news: with the right preparation and the right radiator, replacements in existing buildings can often be carried out cleanly, quickly and without damaging the existing wall surfaces.<\/p>\n
Two dimensions are decisive for replacement in existing buildings:<\/p>\n
If you record both dimensions correctly, you can order a renovation radiator that is precisely tailored to the existing situation without having to lay pipes or open up tiles.<\/p>\n

The Evelino renovation radiator: Tailor-made for existing buildings<\/h2>\n
Caldo has developed the Evelino renovation radiator<\/a> for precisely this situation. It is manufactured individually according to your specifications and is designed to have the same connection dimensions as standard panel radiators and old steel or cast iron radiators. The existing connections can continue to be used and no new pipes need to be laid. <\/p>\n
All you need to order is the hub distance and the bottom edge distance to the middle of the return. With these two details, the radiator can be manufactured precisely. This not only saves installation costs, but also protects the existing tiling and wall covering. <\/p>\n
Avoid typical mistakes during the inventory<\/h2>\n
The hub distance is often measured on the old radiator without taking into account that it may already appear slightly displaced due to rust, paint or old connectors. Therefore, measure directly at the pipe connections in the wall or on the floor and not on the radiator itself. <\/p>\n
Also note whether the return is connected at the top or bottom. Different dimensional references apply to side valves than to the center connection. If in doubt, a specialist company should take stock to avoid incorrect orders. <\/p>\n
