FAQs

What is a Type 11 radiator?

A Type 11 radiator consists of a single panel of steel with integrated convector fins behind it, offering an efficient heat output for its size and a relatively slim profile.

What is the finish on the radiator?

The radiator features a high-quality white enamel (RAL9016) finish, achieved through a rigorous process involving degreasing, zinc phosphating, water-based cathophoratic paint, and finally, an epoxy polyester electrostatic powder coating for a hard, durable surface.

Can this radiator be used in a single-pipe heating system?

Yes, but it is advisable to use diversion tees in the pipework. This helps regulate water flow and ensures the radiator performs efficiently, as single-pipe systems can sometimes lead to cooler return temperatures.

What is included with the radiator for installation?

The radiator comes complete with everything required for installation, including strong wall brackets, fixing screws, plugs, and a nickel-plated plug and air vent.

How many connections does the radiator have?

The Kartell K-Rad Kompact radiator has 4 x 1/2" connections as standard, allowing for flexible installation of valves.

What warranty does this radiator come with?

All radiators in the Kartell K-Rad Kollection are covered by the Kartell 'No Quibble Guarantee' for 10 years against manufacturing faults.

Are valve adaptors included?

No, 1/2" valve adaptors are available separately. The radiator comes with 4 x 1/2" connections as standard.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Check that the central heating system is operational. Ensure radiator valves are open. For single-pipe systems, verify that diversion tees are correctly installed. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air.

Leaking connections

Ensure all 1/2" connections are tightened securely. Check that any installed valve adaptors are properly seated and sealed. If the leak persists, reapply PTFE tape to the threads before re-tightening.

Noise from the radiator

Minor noises during heating or cooling are normal due to expansion and contraction. Ensure the radiator is securely seated on its brackets; the plastic inserts should minimize this. If noises are excessive, check bracket security.

Uneven heating

For two-pipe systems, ensure water flow is balanced. For single-pipe systems, confirm diversion tees are correctly installed and functioning. Bleeding the radiator may also help if air is present.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving Type 11 design
  • Durable and attractive RAL9016 white enamel finish
  • Includes a comprehensive fixing kit for straightforward installation
  • Manufactured for high heating efficiency
  • 10-year 'No Quibble Guarantee' against manufacturing faults

Cons

  • Recommended for two-pipe heating systems; requires additional components (diversion tees) for single-pipe applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Everything required for installation, including strong wall brackets, fixing screws, plugs, and a nickel-plated air vent, is provided. The brackets feature deep slots and an open top for secure and easy mounting. Plastic inserts help seat the radiator precisely, minimizing noise from expansion and contraction. Ensure all connections are watertight before use.

Compatibility:

This radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe installations, it is strongly advised to use diversion tees in the pipework to achieve optimal performance. It features 4 x 1/2" connections as standard. 1/2" valve adaptors are available separately if needed.

Care:

The white enamel (RAL9016) finish is durable and easy to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder coating.
