FAQs

What are the physical dimensions of this radiator?

The radiator measures 500mm in height and 785mm in width.

Can I install this on a stud wall?

It is not recommended to install this heavy unit on a standard stud wall without reinforced internal support or appropriate wall fixings.

Does this radiator come with valves included?

No, valves must be purchased separately based on your existing pipe orientation and system type.

How do I maintain the antique brass finish?

Simply dust with a soft cloth and wipe occasionally with a damp, non-abrasive cloth; avoid all chemical cleaners.

Is this suitable for a bathroom?

While it can function in a bathroom, the brass finish should be kept away from direct water spray to prevent potential spotting or corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

The unit likely has trapped air. Use a radiator bleed key to gently release the air until water appears at the bleed valve.

Radiator is cold at the bottom

This indicates a buildup of sludge or debris. The system may require power flushing by a professional.

Leaking at the valve connection

Check that the valve nut is tightened correctly. If the leak persists, the olive or valve seal may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of this radiator should only be conducted by a qualified heating engineer to ensure compatibility with existing pipework and pressure systems.

  1. Mounting: Ensure the wall is structurally sound to support the weight of the 17-section unit.
  2. Valves: Pair with compatible traditional or modern thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs).
  3. Compatibility: Verify that the 1/2-inch BSP tappings match your current system pipe diameter.
  4. Cleaning: To maintain the antique brass finish, use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals, as these can strip the protective finish or cause oxidation.
