Finished in a sophisticated Moon Dust grey, this radiator delivers 523W of heat output, making it perfect for smaller rooms or supplemental heating.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this radiator come with valves?
No, the radiator is supplied with wall fixings and plugs, but radiator valves must be purchased separately.
What is the warranty period?
This product is covered by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty against defects.
Can this be installed on a stud wall?
Yes, provided the wall is reinforced to support the weight of the radiator when filled with water.
What does T50 mean?
T50 is the standard temperature difference used in the UK to measure heat output (Delta T50), representing the difference between the radiator temperature and the room temperature.
Is the finish matte or glossy?
The Moon Dust grey is a muted, sophisticated finish that leans towards a matte or satin texture.
How often should I bleed the radiator?
You should only need to bleed the radiator if you notice cold spots or hear air gurgling inside the unit.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is cold at the top
Air is trapped inside the system; use the included bleed valve to release trapped air until water flows steadily.
Radiator is cold at the bottom
This often indicates a build-up of sludge or debris; consult a heating professional for a system flush.
Radiator does not heat up at all
Ensure the thermostatic or manual valves are fully open and that the central heating system is pressurized correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure the system is correctly balanced. The unit utilizes standard 1/2 inch BSP connections, making it compatible with the majority of modern radiator valves.
Installation Steps:
- Measure the mounting area and ensure wall integrity for the included fixings.
- Apply PTFE tape to the valve tails and blanking plug before tightening into the radiator ports.
- Secure the brackets and hang the radiator level.
- Connect the flow and return valves, then bleed the system of trapped air.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the Moon Dust finish.
- Periodically check the bleed valve for air pockets to maintain peak heating efficiency.
