Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. If the issue persists, check for blockages in the system or ensure balancing is correct.

Radiator making noise

Gurgling sounds often indicate trapped air; bleed the radiator. Banging or pinging might suggest expansion issues or loose fittings; consult a professional.

Leaking from valves or connections

Ensure valve lock shields are tightened correctly. If leaks persist at pipe connections, turn off the system, drain relevant section, and re-seal connections, or call a qualified installer.

Low overall heat output from the system

Check the boiler settings, ensure all radiators are functioning correctly, and that the central heating system is properly filled and pressurized.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure proper connection to your central heating system and to comply with warranty requirements. Ensure the radiator is securely mounted to the wall using appropriate fixings for the wall type. Connect the flow and return pipes according to standard plumbing practices.

Compatibility: This radiator is specifically designed to be compatible with low-temperature heating systems. It can be integrated into conventional wet central heating systems. Ensure your system's pressure and temperature ratings are suitable for this type of radiator.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the radiator, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint finish. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent diluted in water can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the radiator is cool before cleaning. Periodically check for any signs of corrosion, although the durable finish minimizes this risk.
