I have indirect steam radiators on my first floor (the ones with external ducting to pull in outside air.

One is broken (long time ago - previous owners) and they put 1 single floor radiator right above the floor grate. I’d love to remove that and get a replacement indirect radiator - no idea where to start looking. Any ideas?

Pic of defunct radiator attached (well the boxed casing at least). The EDR on is estimated between 60 and 90.

    Doubt you can find one. You can take the plenum apart and put something in its place. They make steel fin tube for commercial jobs or a CI radiator etc.

    is it the only radiator heating that room or does it have other radiators? you could probable put a convector element in that box but it wouldn't have as much mass as the cast iron indirect radiator so it wouldn't balance very well with the other cast iron radiators. If there are other radiators in that room it probably would be ok, if it is the only radiator in that room the temp is likely to be uneven.
