FAQs
Are the radiator valves included with the unit?
No, the valves are sold separately. You will need to purchase compatible 1/2 inch BSP valves.
What is the warranty period for this radiator?
The Lux Heat Oval Horizontal Radiator comes with a 5-year warranty.
Can I install this on any type of wall?
The radiator should be mounted on walls capable of supporting its weight. Always use the appropriate fixings for your specific wall type (e.g., masonry vs. stud).
What does the 1618 BTU rating mean?
BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures heat output. 1618 BTU indicates the amount of heat the radiator can transfer to the room at a specific water temperature (ΔT50°C).
Is the finish resistant to moisture?
The high-quality finish is designed for standard residential indoor environments, but ensure the room is well-ventilated to prevent excess moisture buildup.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is cold at the top
Air may be trapped in the system. Use the included bleed valve to vent the air until water begins to emerge.
Radiator fails to heat up at all
Check that the radiator valves are fully open and verify that the central heating system is functioning and the pump is circulating water.
Leaking at the pipe connections
Ensure the 1/2 inch BSP connections are tightened correctly, potentially using PTFE tape if the seal is not sufficient.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure you have the appropriate 1/2 inch BSP valves suitable for your pipework diameter. Use the provided wall plugs and fixings to secure the radiator to a solid wall surface. Once installed, use the included bleed valve to release trapped air after filling the system to ensure maximum thermal efficiency. For maintenance, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or acidic chemicals, as these may damage the muted grey finish. Regularly check connections at the start of each heating season to ensure there are no signs of leaks or corrosion.
