FAQs

What type of heating system is this radiator best suited for?

The Kartell K-RAD Kompact radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe systems, it's recommended to use diversion tees for optimal performance.

What is included with the radiator?

The radiator comes complete with factory-fitted top grilles and side panels, strong wall mounting brackets, a fixing kit including plugs and screws, a nickel-plated plug, and an air vent.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

This radiator is covered by the Kartell 'No Quibble Guarantee' against any manufacturing faults for 10 years from the date of purchase.

How do I clean the radiator?

Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the white enamel finish.

Can I install this radiator myself?

The radiator includes most necessary fixings and is designed for straightforward installation. However, basic plumbing knowledge is required. If unsure, it's recommended to consult a professional plumber.

What is a Type 21 radiator?

A Type 21 radiator features double panels with a single convector fitted between them. This design offers a higher heat output compared to single-panel radiators.

Do I need to purchase valves separately?

Yes, the radiator has standard 1/2" connections for valves, but the valves themselves are typically purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up fully

Check if the system is fully bled to remove air. For single-pipe systems, verify that diversion tees are correctly installed and functioning. Ensure radiator valves are open and the heating system is operating at the correct temperature.

Leaking connections

Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Reapply PTFE tape or sealant to the valve threads before re-connecting. Check that the radiator valve itself is not damaged.

Radiator making noise

Gently bleeding the radiator can remove trapped air. Ensure the radiator is securely seated on its brackets; plastic inserts help minimize expansion noise.

Low heat output

Confirm correct system configuration (two-pipe recommended). Check for blockages in the system or radiator. Ensure the radiator is correctly sized for the room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the heating system is drained and isolated.
  2. Mount the provided L-shaped brackets securely to the wall using appropriate fixings for your wall type.
  3. Hang the radiator onto the brackets, aligning the pre-fitted holders on the radiator's back.
  4. Connect the radiator valves (not included) to the 4 x 1/2" standard connections. Ensure watertight joints using appropriate sealant or tape.
  5. Install the nickel-plated plug and vent at the top of the radiator.
  6. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air.
  7. Refill and restart the heating system. It is highly recommended to add a central heating system inhibitor after flushing and cleaning your system to protect against corrosion and limescale.

Compatibility:

  • This radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems.
  • For single-pipe applications, it is advisable to use diversion tees in the pipework to ensure optimal performance.
  • Standard 1/2" valve adaptors can be used to connect to the radiator's 1/2" connections.

Care:

  • Clean the radiator surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the enamel finish.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks.
  • Ensure radiator valves are functioning correctly to regulate heat output.
