Troubleshooting
Towel rail is cold at the top.
The system likely has trapped air. Use a radiator key to bleed the air from the top valve until water flows steadily.
Leaking at the pipe connections.
Ensure the valve connections are tightened correctly and that proper thread sealant or tape was used during installation.
Rail does not heat up at all.
Check that the thermostatic radiator valve is open and that the central heating system is pressurized and functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Requirements
This unit is designed for central heating systems. Before installation, confirm that your pipework aligns with the 455mm pipe centres. Since the unit does not come with valves, ensure you purchase compatible radiator valves separately before starting the setup process. Always use a professional plumber to ensure connections are leak-free and pressure-tested to the 7 bar limit.
Maintenance Tips
- Keep the exterior clean by wiping with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool, which can damage the white finish.
- Periodically check the brackets and wall fixings to ensure they remain secure.
- If you notice cold spots, the system may require bleeding, similar to a standard radiator.
