FAQs

What type of valves do I need for this radiator?

Radiator valves are not included. You will need to purchase appropriate radiator valves (e.g., angled, straight, or corner) and a lockshield valve to connect it to your central heating system.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

The Stelrad Compact P+ Double Panel Single Convector Radiator comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

How do I calculate the correct radiator size for my room?

To determine the correct size, you need to calculate the room's heat loss, often expressed in BTUs (British Thermal Units). Factors include room dimensions, insulation levels, window size, and desired temperature. Online calculators or a professional heating engineer can assist with this.

Can this radiator be used in a bathroom?

While it can provide heat, this specific model is not typically designed for bathrooms where higher humidity levels are present. For bathrooms, consider radiators with a specific IP rating or a towel rail design.

How is the heat output measured?

Heat output is measured in BTUs per hour or Watts. The Stelrad Compact P+ has undergone CETIAT testing in accordance with BS EN 442 standards, which provides a benchmark for its performance.

Is installation hardware included?

No, mounting brackets and fixings for wall installation are not included. Radiator valves are also sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up at all

Check that the central heating system is on and functioning. Ensure radiator valves are fully open. If only one radiator is affected, it may need bleeding. If all radiators are cold, check the boiler and system pressure.

Radiator is only warm at the top and cold at the bottom

This usually indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator using a radiator key to release the air until water starts to come out. Retighten the bleed valve securely.

There is a dripping noise or leak from the radiator

Check the radiator valves and their connections to the radiator body. Ensure they are tightened correctly. If the leak persists, there may be a fault with the valve or radiator seal, requiring professional attention.

Radiator makes banging or gurgling noises

This is typically caused by air in the system. Bleed the radiator as described above. If the noise continues, there might be an issue with water circulation or air in the wider system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient heat output due to double panel and convector design.
  • Durable steel construction ensures long-term use.
  • Aesthetically pleasing with integrated grilles and side panels for a clean look.
  • Meets rigorous European testing standards (BS EN 442).
  • Generous 10-year manufacturer's warranty provides peace of mind.

Cons

  • Radiator valves are not included and require a separate purchase.
  • Installation may require professional plumbing knowledge.
  • Images are for illustration; actual appearance may vary slightly.
  • Specific BTU output needs to be calculated based on room requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This radiator is designed for central heating systems. Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber. Ensure the radiator is securely mounted to the wall using appropriate fixings (not included). Connect the flow and return pipes to the designated radiator valves (not included) and the hot water system. Bleed the radiator after installation to remove any air.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard domestic central heating systems utilizing hot water. It requires radiator valves (angled, straight, or corner) and potentially a lockshield valve, which are sold separately. Ensure your existing plumbing is compatible with the radiator's connection sizes.

Care: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint finish. Periodically check for leaks at the valve connections and bleed the radiator if you notice reduced performance or knocking sounds, indicating trapped air.
