This radiator is compatible with all standard central heating systems. It requires a 1/2 inch BSP connection.

How do I clean the radiator's surface?

Does this radiator meet safety standards?

What material is the radiator made from?

The radiator is constructed from high-quality, 1.5mm thick steel for guaranteed durability.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating evenly

Ensure the central heating system is properly bled to remove airlocks. Check that radiator valves (if installed) are fully open. Verify that pipework is correctly installed and not obstructed.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the heating system and drain the affected section. Check that all connections are securely tightened using appropriate tools and PTFE tape or sealant. If the leak persists, professional inspection may be needed.

Radiator has a rattling or banging noise

This is often caused by air in the system. Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. If the noise continues, there might be an issue with water flow or pump pressure in the central heating system.

Exterior finish appears damaged

Inspect the finish for any signs of scratches or dents. If minor, a touch-up paint might be considered, though this is not covered under warranty. Prevent future damage by avoiding abrasive cleaning materials and protecting the radiator from impacts.

Compatibility:

This Sorrento radiator is compatible with all standard central heating systems. It features a 1/2 inch BSP connection size. It is recommended to purchase the radiator and valves *before* fitting any new pipework to ensure precise alignment.

  • Connect the radiator to your central heating system using appropriate valves (sold separately).
  • Ensure the system is bled correctly after installation to remove any trapped air.

Care:

  • The radiator features a protective powder coating. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
