Question:

I have a heated towel rad one plumber said it can be plumbed straight into the combi boiler another said it?

cant he wants to connect it to a radiator in the kitchen that im disposing of but i dont want it there i want it on the opposite wall surely if the first plumber makes 2 holes in the wall he can connect straight to the boiler??

Answer:

as long as it is connected to the heating circuit yes it can simple as that
Yes it can but its probably awkward if the boiler is downstairs as its likely the pipework vanishes up behind the boiler so making it difficult to gain access to the required connections. It will just take longer if that is the case.
If the boiler is at the other side of the wall then put the towel rail on the wall you want it and pipe it through the wall to the heating mains on the boiler, then it's just a simple job to cap the old radiator off. Just remember you may not get as much heat from the towel rail as you do from the existing radiator depending on the size of the rad, so maybe try it first with the rad turned off before you remove it totally.
