Need to replace a radiator...............

and bump it out from the wall as pipe is too close for standard radiator or find a 3 or 4 inch wide radiator. I know when I posted the subject last week it was suggested I use a couple of 45's to bump it out and I thought that was a good idea so I was thinking to just add 45's to the valve and attach to radiator but I just realized today that the nut to tighten is on the radiator valve not on the radiator itself - so I can't do it that way. If I take the radiator valve off the pipe and then do the 45's the valve won't fit the setup. Do they make valves that aren't angled for radiators? Or can someone suggest how I should set this up?

Thanks.......

I was wrong, rad does have nut on it - I think I'm off mine right now!
