Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Lux Heat vertical radiator requires a standard central heating setup. Since the radiator utilizes 1/2-inch BSP connections, you will need to purchase matching radiator valves—either angled or straight, depending on your pipe orientation—separately.
- Preparation: Identify the wall material and ensure it can support the weight of the water-filled radiator using the included wall plugs.
- Mounting: Use the provided wall fixings to secure the brackets, ensuring the unit is level to facilitate proper bleeding.
- Connection: Install the valves using appropriate plumbing tape (PTFE) to prevent leaks.
- Bleeding: Once the system is filled, use the included bleed plug to release trapped air to ensure the radiator heats evenly.
For ongoing care, wipe the pewter finish periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool, as these can scratch the metallic coating.
