Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this radiator be used with an electric immersion heater?

This unit is designed for central heating systems. Modifying it for electric use would require specific conversion kits and is not recommended without professional guidance.

Does this package include the valves needed to connect to the pipes?

No, this package includes wall fixings, brackets, a bleed valve, and a blanking plug. Radiator valves must be purchased separately based on your specific pipe layout.

What does ΔT50°C mean?

ΔT50°C is the industry standard temperature difference used to measure heat output, representing the difference between the average water temperature in the radiator and the room temperature.

How do I keep the white finish looking new?

Clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid bleach or scouring pads to prevent scratching the finish.

Is this radiator suitable for a large kitchen?

The output is 1355 BTU. It is suitable for small to medium-sized kitchens; however, you should calculate the total BTU requirement for your specific room volume to ensure it is sufficient.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

Air is likely trapped inside. Use the included bleed valve to carefully release the trapped air until water flows steadily.

Radiator is not heating up

Check that the thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) are open and verify that the central heating system is balanced.

Small leaks around the valves

Tighten the connections carefully using a wrench, or consult a plumber to ensure the PTFE tape is applied correctly to the valve threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy-access open design for drying multiple towels
  • Comprehensive installation kit included
  • Compliant with industry-standard BS EN 442
  • Sleek, minimalist aesthetic
  • Robust 5-year warranty

Cons

  • Not intended for electric-only heating systems
  • White finish may require more frequent wiping to maintain shine
  • Fixed heat output not adjustable by the unit itself

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure the central heating connections are leak-free and pressure-balanced. The radiator is designed for standard central heating systems. To maintain the finish, clean regularly using only a soft cloth and warm soapy water; avoid abrasive cleaners or acidic chemicals that could strip the white coating. Periodically check the `bleed valve` to ensure no air is trapped, as this can cause cold spots and reduce the radiator's efficiency.
