Product Information
Full details
The Lux Heat Oval Vertical Radiator in Bronze is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a high-performance heating solution that doubles as a modern style statement. It is ideal for compact areas like bathrooms, hallways, or conservatories where space is at a premium, offering a efficient heat output of 2374 BTU. While its striking bronze finish provides a sophisticated aesthetic, users should note that as a single-panel unit, it is best suited for targeted heating in smaller rooms rather than serving as the primary heat source for large, open-plan living spaces.

FAQs
Does this radiator include valves?
No, this unit includes wall brackets, a bleed valve, and a blanking plug. Radiator valves must be purchased separately.
What is the warranty period?
This radiator is backed by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Can this be installed on a stud wall?
It can be installed on a stud wall provided the wall is reinforced with wooden noggins to support the radiator's weight when filled with water.
What does ΔT50°C mean?
Delta T 50°C is the standard industry measurement used to rate heat output based on a specific temperature difference between the radiator and the room.
Can I paint the radiator a different color?
We do not recommend painting the radiator, as this can affect heat dissipation and may void the manufacturer warranty.
Is this radiator compatible with electric heating elements?
This unit is designed primarily for hydronic (central heating) systems. Please consult with an installer regarding dual-fuel compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is cold at the top
Air is trapped in the system. Use a radiator key to open the bleed valve until water begins to flow.
Radiator is cold at the bottom
This often indicates a build-up of sludge or a circulation issue; check your central heating pump or contact a professional for a system flush.
Leaking at the pipe connections
Ensure that PTFE tape has been applied to the threads and that the compression fittings are properly tightened.
