I want an 'upside down' radiator, where the two pipes to feed it can come down from the ceiling.

Obvs a conventional rad would require pipes chased into the wall or exposed and I don't fancy either.

Does what I want exist? If so anyone point me at some?

Err......so you want to feed two water pipes to a radiator from above, but you don't want to see them, and you don't want to hide them?

Electric radiator?

If the hot water goes into the top the rad will never get hot.

What the captain said.

Bring the pipes down  behind the radiator and in at the bottom.

Or just go electric.

If such a thing exists I assume the rad would have integrated channels cast in so ultimately the water would go in the bottom.

I don't want them running from top to bottom of the room. Obviously I'm happy with 50cm or so at the top.

Purmo Kos V vertical rad can be fed into the top, there will be other vertical rads that will do the same.

Thanks Bear, that looks ideal, I'll see if I can meet the conditions:

"Note,with top connection one must turn the radiator around and a minimum water column head of 3m is required for the radiator supply, and this with a minimum flow rate of 150 l/h"

In my doctors surgery they have what looks to me like a conventional rad turned 90 degrees.

it looks bloody daft.

I like the ones you see installed diagonally at the bottom of the stairs 🙂
