A silly question I'm sure..!
Anyway, there is limited wall space so I'd like to consider mounting a 4'x2' plain type Edwardian cast iron radiator vertically (on it's side). Of course its heavy, so I will need to craft some feet to fit and provide adequate support at the top.
In plumbing terms is this likely to cause any issues with water circulating through the rad?
Can I plumb this BBOE (both valves at the bottom)?
Thanks...

Seems like it might work, but not nearly as efficiently as if it were oriented as designed.

Maybe a correctly oriented and sized radiator instead tho.
