Problem with bathroom towel rail. Bent tails.
Young grand daughter decided to use this as a climbing frame.
Partially dislodged the thing from the bathroom wall. I suspect it may not have been well fitted to the brick wall originally. Can't blame the child, she's only 3, but she will be told. Results are a leak between one rad tail and the valve, both 15mm copper supply tails somewhat bent and the whole affair now rather ricketty on the four fixings. Dual fuel fwiw. Bending to tails is up to 15mm in two planes. I've shut the valves, drained, and graunched up the leaking fitting. For now not leaking. Obviously I must put this right. Problem is that the supply tails protrude only about 100mm through the stone floor. I can drain down, remove rail and make the fixings good. What worries me is that if I try to bend the supply tails back to vertical(ish) I may kink or snap the tails. Then I would be in trouble. Any solutions please? Thanks, Nick. |
