FAQs

Does the radiator come with valves?

No, the radiator does not include heating valves; you will need to purchase compatible radiator valves separately.

Can this be installed on a stud wall?

Due to the weight of the double panel, it is recommended to mount this on a solid masonry wall or ensure the stud wall is heavily reinforced.

What is the warranty period?

The Lux Heat Oval Vertical Radiator comes with a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

What does ΔT50°C mean?

This is the industry-standard temperature difference used to measure radiator output, representing a mean water temperature of 75°C in a 20°C room.

How do I keep the bronze finish looking new?

Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the finish.

What is the wall-to-center distance?

The distance from the wall to the center of the pipe connections is 48mm.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

Air is trapped in the system. Use a radiator bleed key to gently open the bleed valve at the top until water begins to trickle out.

Radiator is cold at the bottom

This often indicates a build-up of sludge. You may need to power flush the system or check if the lockshield valve is fully open.

Leaking at the pipe connections

Ensure the valve tails are properly tightened and the PTFE tape or sealant has been applied correctly to the threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High heat output suitable for spacious rooms
  • Sleek, modern design with an elegant bronze finish
  • Space-saving vertical orientation
  • Certified to industry safety standards (BS EN 442)
  • Five-year warranty provides long-term peace of mind

Cons

  • Significant 85mm wall projection may be bulky for tight hallways
  • Heavier unit requires solid wall mounting or reinforced drywall
  • Requires professional plumbing knowledge for valve installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic plumbing skills and the use of central heating valves, which are not included with the unit.

  1. Placement: Ensure the wall is load-bearing to support the radiator weight.
  2. Spacing: Use the provided brackets to maintain the 48mm wall-to-center distance for proper plumbing alignment.
  3. Commissioning: Once mounted, use a bleed key to release trapped air from the system after filling to ensure even heat distribution.
  4. Maintenance: Clean the bronze finish periodically using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the protective coating. Check the valve connections annually to ensure there are no signs of corrosion or leaks.
