FAQs
What type of heating system is this radiator compatible with?
The Ximax K4 Vertical Towel Radiator is designed for connection to standard central heating systems. Compatibility with electric or dual-fuel systems should be verified with the specific product model or manufacturer.
How do I clean the radiator's grey finish?
Clean the radiator using a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Wipe dry immediately afterwards. Avoid using abrasive pads, steel wool, or strong chemical cleaners.
Can I install this radiator myself?
While some DIYers may have the skills, it is strongly recommended to have the Ximax K4 installed by a qualified professional plumber to ensure proper connection to your heating system and safe operation.
What is the benefit of a vertical radiator?
Vertical radiators, like the K4, offer a space-saving design that can heat a room effectively without taking up valuable floor space. They are particularly useful in bathrooms and smaller rooms.
How does this radiator dry towels?
When connected to a hot water central heating system, the radiator's surface heats up, transferring warmth to the towels hung on it, thus drying and warming them.
Is the grey finish durable?
Yes, the grey finish is designed for durability and aesthetic longevity when proper care instructions are followed. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up evenly
Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Ensure water flow is not obstructed and check that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is functioning correctly.
Leaking from valve or connection
Gently tighten the leaking valve or connection. If the leak persists, the seal may need replacing; contact a professional plumber.
Noise from the radiator
A 'banging' or 'gurgling' sound often indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator. If the noise is a 'hissing' sound, it might be the TRV needing adjustment or replacement.
Exterior finish discoloured
Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of the Ximax K4 Vertical Towel Radiator should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connection to your central heating system and adherence to safety standards. Ensure the chosen location allows for adequate circulation of warm air.
Compatibility: This radiator is designed to connect to standard central heating systems. Compatibility with electric-only heating elements or dual-fuel systems should be confirmed based on specific model variations. Always check your existing system's pressure and flow rate requirements.
