FAQs

What is a Type 11 radiator?

A Type 11 radiator is a single-panel radiator with a convector fin. This design allows for efficient heat output in a relatively slim profile.

What type of heating system is this radiator best suited for?

This radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe systems, it is recommended to use diversion tees for optimal performance.

What size are the standard connections?

The radiator comes with 4 x 1/2" connections as standard.

Are valve adaptors included?

Valve adaptors for 3/4" connections are available but are not included as standard. They can be purchased separately.

What is the warranty period?

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

How should I clean the radiator?

Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the white enamel finish.

Does the radiator come with brackets?

Yes, the radiator includes everything required for installation, including strong wall brackets and a fixing kit.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating evenly

Ensure the system is a two-pipe installation or that diversion tees are correctly fitted for single-pipe systems. Check if air needs to be bled from the radiator using the air vent.

Noise from radiator

The plastic inserts in the brackets help minimize expansion and contraction noise. Ensure the radiator is seated correctly on the brackets.

Leak from plug or vent

Ensure the nickel-plated plug and air vent are properly tightened and sealed. Check if PTFE tape or sealant was used correctly during installation.

Low heat output

Verify the radiator is properly connected to the heating system and that the thermostatic or manual valve is open. Check for blockages in the system or low water pressure.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Unpack the radiator and all included accessories carefully. Verify all components are present: radiator, wall brackets, fixing kit (plugs, screws), nickel-plated plug, and air vent.
  2. Mark the wall for bracket placement according to the radiator's dimensions and desired height. Ensure the wall is capable of supporting the radiator's weight.
  3. Securely fasten the brackets to the wall using the provided plugs and screws.
  4. Attach the radiator to the brackets, ensuring it sits precisely on the plastic inserts.
  5. Install the nickel-plated plug and air vent into the designated tappings, ensuring a watertight seal.
  6. Connect the radiator to your heating system pipework using appropriate fittings.

Compatibility:

  • This radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems.
  • For single-pipe heating systems, it is advisable to use diversion tees in the pipework to achieve optimal design performance.
  • Standard connections are 1/2". Optional 3/4" valve adaptors are available.

Care:

  • Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
  • Periodically check connections for leaks and ensure the air vent is functioning correctly.
  • Bleed the radiator if necessary to remove trapped air and maintain efficient heating.
