Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) or manual valve is fully open.

Leaking from valve connections

Turn off the heating system, drain the affected section, and re-tighten the valve connections. Use appropriate sealant tape if necessary.

Low heat output

Check that the central heating system is functioning correctly and that the radiator is not blocked by debris internally. Ensure all valves are fully open.

Powder coating appears damaged

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor chips, touch-up paint might be considered, but consult the manufacturer for recommendations.
