FAQs

What are the dimensions of this radiator?

The Ximax Champion Vertical Designer Radiator measures 600mm in width and 990mm in height.

What type of heating system is it compatible with?

It is compatible with standard domestic central heating systems.

Can I install this myself?

Installation requires plumbing expertise. It is strongly recommended to hire a qualified professional for safe and correct installation.

How should I clean the radiator?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the satin white finish.

What is the main benefit of the vertical design?

The vertical design is space-saving, making it ideal for rooms where wall space is limited or for aesthetic purposes.

Does it come with valves?

Radiator valves are typically sold separately. Please check the product listing or contact customer service for details on included components.

How do I bleed the radiator?

Locate the bleed valve (usually at the top corner). Insert a radiator key and slowly turn it counter-clockwise until you hear a hissing sound (air escaping). Once water starts to drip, close the valve immediately.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up fully

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is set to an appropriate temperature and is not fully closed.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the central heating system and allow the radiator to cool. Tighten the leaking connection carefully. If the leak persists, the valve or fitting may need replacement; contact a qualified plumber.

Unusual noises (gurgling/banging)

This often indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator until water starts to come out, then close the valve. If the noise continues, there might be an issue with the central heating system's circulation.

Surface finish dull or discolored

Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. If discoloration is significant, it may be due to water quality issues within the heating system, requiring professional system inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Ximax Champion Vertical Designer Radiator typically involves connecting it to an existing central heating system. This process usually requires plumbing skills to ensure secure connections and prevent leaks. It is recommended to have a qualified professional perform the installation. Ensure the wall mounting points are robust enough to support the radiator's weight when filled with water.

Compatibility: This radiator is designed to work with standard domestic central heating systems (both low pressure and high pressure). It connects via standard pipe fittings. Ensure your existing system can accommodate the BTU output of this radiator for optimal performance.

Care: To maintain the satin white finish, clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface. Dust can be removed with a feather duster or a soft brush. Ensure the radiator is cool before cleaning.
