It refers to the construction: two flat panels with one convector fin between them, designed to maximize heat output efficiently.

Can this radiator be used with an electric central heating system?

This radiator is designed for standard water-based central heating systems. Compatibility with electric systems would depend on the specific system's design and water circulation.

What are the exact dimensions of the radiator?

The radiator measures 450mm in height and 600mm in width.

Is installation hardware included?

The product description implies mounting brackets are included for installation, but specific hardware details should be confirmed with the retailer or manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up fully

Check if radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Ensure the central heating system is functioning correctly and boiler is set to an appropriate temperature.

Radiator is cold at the top and hot at the bottom

This indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator by gently opening the bleed valve until water starts to come out, then close the valve.

There is a leak from a valve connection

Ensure the valve connection is tightened correctly. Check the integrity of the thread sealant used. If the leak persists, the valve may need to be replaced.

Radiator makes noise

Gurgling noises often indicate air in the system, which can be resolved by bleeding. Hissing noises might indicate a faulty valve or an air leak.
