What's the minimum suggested clearance under a radiator?

[OxfordJules]

I've read it's generally around the 150mm mark, but I'm wanting to fit a particular style (see photo) in to a particular space that will only leave 100mm.

I was just wondering if the relatively open structure of this style would give me any latitude in terms of gap between the floor and the bottom of the radiator.

Thanks.

150 or 100 unlikely to make much difference. Have you checked the rad is suitable in terms of heat output?

Yes, I think so; the various BTU calculators I've used have given results from 3200 to 5300 and it's in the middle of that range.

Looks 6” but with that type it won’t matter if it’s lifted an extra 2”
