Hi
We have two of these, recently installed... https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalo...tical-radiator They're very effective, and save a lot of space compared to the normal horizontal radiators. However. The old radiator in the kitchen used to have a plastic coated wire tea-towel hanger thing hooked over the top, something like one of these... http://www.argos.co.uk/product/8504405 ....and SWMBO wants similar for the new radiator. I can't find one. Any ideas? I mean, normally I wouldn't splash out so much cash, but I suppose it would do for a combined Birthday/Christmas present. Cheers -- Clive |

Steel wire can be bent into eg a |__|''|__|''| shape, but such a shape would require thick wire to stay straight, which would be a pain to bend. And of course it must be rustproofed. If you have welder & angle grinder it should be straightforward to make whatever shape you want. NT |

Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152824065635 and make up a couple of brackets to screw to the wall that it can hook into. |

A few of those bent a bit and held together with gaffer tape should do the job. G.Harman |
