The Sol*Aire 250W Electric Element is designed for homeowners and DIYers looking to convert their standard plumbed heated towel rail or radiator into a versatile electric unit. This high-quality heating element provides reliable and consistent warmth for towels and bathrooms, featuring an IP67 splash-proof rating for enhanced safety; however, users should note that the unit arrives without a pre-fitted plug, requiring electrical wiring or the addition of a fused spur by a qualified professional.

This is a constant power element; it does not include an adjustable thermostat.
Yes, this element is designed to work in both horizontal and vertical configurations.
It has an IP67 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and short-term immersion in water, making it safe for bathroom zones.
While it can be wired to a plug, it is safer and recommended to connect it via a switched fused spur in a bathroom environment.
It is compatible with any radiator or towel rail that features a 1/2 inch BSP threaded connection.
The cable length is 1.2 meters.
Check the fused spur to ensure the power is on and the fuse has not blown.
Ensure the 1/2 inch BSP seal is correctly seated and the element has been tightened sufficiently using a compatible spanner.
This can sometimes occur during expansion/contraction as the metal heats up, which is normal, but ensure it is securely mounted to the bracket.
Installation of the 250W element requires the towel rail to have a 1/2 inch BSP internal thread. Before beginning, ensure the heating system is isolated if installing on a dual-fuel setup. The unit is designed for direct wiring; it is highly recommended to connect the lead to a switched fused spur rather than a standard plug socket to comply with electrical safety standards in bathroom zones. For maintenance, keep the exterior of the element clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these may damage the silver finish.
