FAQs
Does this radiator come with valves?
No, the radiator valves are generally sold separately as the type required depends on your specific pipework configuration.
Can I install this myself?
While a skilled DIYer might manage the mounting, it is highly recommended that a professional plumber handles the pipe connections to prevent leaks and ensure heating system safety.
What is Delta T50?
Delta T50 is the industry standard temperature difference used to calculate the heat output of radiators in UK heating systems.
Is the heating element included for dual fuel use?
No, the electric heating element for dual fuel operation must be purchased separately.
How do I maintain the finish?
Wipe down the silver surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use and avoid abrasive chemicals to preserve the luster.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is cold at the top
The radiator likely has trapped air. Use a radiator key to bleed the unit until water flows steadily.
Radiator fails to heat up when using dual-fuel mode
Check the power supply to the electric heating element and ensure the thermostat is set to an active temperature.
Leaking at pipe connections
Tighten the compression fittings or contact a professional plumber to re-apply PTFE tape to the valve threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be carried out by a qualified heating engineer to ensure all pipe connections are sealed correctly and the radiator is bled properly. The unit is compatible with standard central heating systems. For dual-fuel setups, ensure you purchase a compatible electric element and a T-piece adapter. To clean, use only a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the silver finish.
