Default Ordering and fitting a new radiator

OK, not a big job, but...

I have a 600x1400 type 11 that I'd like to replace with a type 21 (don't
want to go to 22 as space is limited). The 11 will go in another room.

The pipes are soldered in and cunningly bent, so getting them to reach the
extra distance from the wall (~20mm) can't be done by just bending them.
I don't own a torch and have never needed one at home, so am reluctant to
buy one (if I do have to, what's a good one that's not too expensive?).

Are Stelrad OK? (SF has an offer on Kudox Premium, but these go to only
1200mm :-( ). I've found this one
http://www.plumbtraders.co.uk/produc...rs-600-1400-p/

and ISTR that the suppliers site was mentioned in this group.

Now, I've heard of rads. being delivered somewahat the worse for the
experience, so is it 'safe' to get one delivered rather than fetching it? I
suppose it depends on the supplier, packaging and, of course, the vandroid.

Thanks.
