Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. Ensure the radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air; listen for hissing sounds and tighten the valve once water starts to drip.

Radiator is cold at the top and hot at the bottom

This indicates trapped air within the system. Use a radiator key to carefully open the bleed valve at the top of the radiator until air is released and water starts to flow. Then, re-tighten the valve.

Leaking from valve connection

Ensure the valve head is securely tightened. If the leak persists, it may require a new valve or re-sealing by a qualified professional.

Strange noises (e.g., banging, gurgling)

These noises can indicate air in the system or issues with water flow. Bleed all radiators, check system pressure, and ensure pumps are functioning correctly. Consult a professional if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The radiator comes pre-fitted with valve connections and a blank plug, ready for a thermostatic or manual valve set to be installed.

Care: To maintain the radiator's appearance and performance, regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is recommended. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the paint finish. Avoid getting water into the valve or radiator body. Periodically check valve connections for leaks and ensure the radiator is free from obstructions to allow for optimal air circulation and heat output.
