FAQs

Does this kit include everything needed for conversion?

Yes, it includes the heating element, angled valves, and two T-pieces required for a standard dual fuel conversion.

Is this kit compatible with all towel rails?

It is compatible with most standard towel rails that feature 1/2 inch BSP radiator fittings.

Can I install this myself?

Because it involves connecting to the mains electrical supply and your central heating circuit, professional installation is strongly recommended.

What is the warranty on this kit?

This product is covered by a 1-year guarantee provided by UK Radiators.

Can I use this with any brand of towel rail?

As long as the rail has 1/2 inch BSP fittings, it should be compatible with the Talus kit.

Troubleshooting

Radiator does not heat up when in electric mode

Check the electrical connection to the element and ensure the isolation switch is in the 'on' position.

Leaking around the T-piece or valve connections

Ensure all joints have been correctly fitted with appropriate thread sealant and tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications.

Cold spots in the towel rail

The system may need to be bled to remove trapped air; perform a standard radiator bleed process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber and electrician to ensure the dual fuel system is integrated correctly into both your heating pipework and home electrical mains. Ensure your current towel rail features a 1/2 inch BSP inlet before purchasing. For ongoing care, clean the external components with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the white finish. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or metal scourers, which can damage the paint and lead to corrosion over time. Periodically check the valves to ensure there are no signs of leaks or debris buildup.
