We are renovating the kitchen and as it stands now, we need to remove/relocate a water-based radiator to accommodate the planned layout (door opening for fridge & freezer). A simple question if you look at the attached image - is it possible to turn the radiator so that it sits under the kitchen island instead without disrupting the flow in the pipe? That is, we get rid of the existing radiator and get one that can hang the other way, if such radiators exist? It's a one-way system in a villa built in 1990.
The alternative is to remove the radiator completely, but then you lose some heating effect in the kitchen.
It shouldn't be a problem to move the radiator, but the pipes in the floor probably can't support a standard freezer door as these often extend all the way to the floor.
The pipes will be outside the door's reach, so there will be no problem with them. Mostly interested in whether there are left and right-hung elements and if it works with the flow in the pipes to switch the element's place...
I don't think there are right or left-handed radiators. You just have to draw the pipes so they end up correctly, but it should be feasible in your case. You can turn the existing radiator if you wish.
