Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up evenly
If installed in a single-pipe system, ensure diversion tees are correctly installed. Bleed the radiator using the vent to remove trapped air. Check for blockages in the pipework or valves.
Leaking from connections
Ensure the nickel-plated plug and vent are securely tightened. Check pipe connections and valve fittings for proper sealing. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber.
Radiator makes noise during operation
Some expansion and contraction noise is normal. Ensure the plastic inserts are correctly seating the radiator on the brackets to minimize this. Trapped air can also cause noise; bleed the radiator.
Low heat output
Ensure the radiator is not obstructed by furniture or curtains. Check if the system is functioning correctly and water is circulating. For single-pipe systems, verify diversion tees are installed. Ensure valves are fully open.
