FAQs

What does T50 mean for heat output?

T50 refers to the standard temperature difference between the radiator and the room, used to calculate the BTU output rating.

Is this radiator compatible with my central heating system?

Yes, it is designed to be fully compatible with all standard domestic central heating systems.

Can I install this radiator myself?

While technically possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is recommended due to the weight and potential plumbing requirements.

What is the physical size of this radiator?

This specific model measures 600mm in height by 768mm in width.

How do I clean the brown finish?

Use only a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the integrity of the finish.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

The radiator likely has trapped air; use a radiator key to bleed the unit until water appears.

Radiator stays cold even when heating is on

Check if the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is turned off or blocked, and ensure the system pump is functioning.

Pros and Cons

  • Efficient 2 column airflow configuration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Alpha 2 Column radiator is compatible with all standard UK central heating systems. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure the unit is correctly leveled and the plumbing connections are leak-free. When preparing for setup, verify that your wall is load-bearing, as the cast-iron style construction carries significant weight. For care and maintenance, clean the exterior surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the specialized brown finish. Periodically bleed the radiator to ensure no air bubbles are trapped inside, which helps maintain maximum heating efficiency.
