Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this radiator be used with an electric immersion heater?

No, this model is specifically engineered for use with central heating systems circulating hot water.

What does the BS EN 442 certification mean?

It is a European standard that guarantees the product has been tested for safety, durability, and accurate heat output.

Does this radiator come with mounting brackets?

Yes, standard wall mounting brackets are typically included, but ensure they are secured based on your wall material.

Can I paint the radiator a different color?

While technically possible, painting over the factory powder coat may void the warranty and affect heat dissipation.

How do I calculate if this is the right size for my room?

You should use a BTU calculator based on your room dimensions, insulation levels, and window surface area to ensure the heat output matches your needs.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top but warm at the bottom

Air is trapped inside; use a radiator key to bleed the unit until water flows steadily.

Radiator is slow to heat up

Check if the system needs balancing or if there is sludge buildup in the central heating circuit.

Surface finish appears dusty or dull

Wipe down with a clean microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or metal scourers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High heat output capacity due to double-panel design
  • Modern, unobtrusive flat-bar aesthetic
  • Durable 1.5mm steel construction ensures longevity
  • Easy-to-maintain powder-coated finish
  • Certified to industry safety standards

Cons

  • Not compatible with standalone electric heating systems
  • Heavier than single-panel alternatives, requiring secure wall mounting
  • Grey finish may not suit all interior color palettes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires professional plumbing knowledge, as this unit must be connected to an existing hydronic central heating system. Ensure that your wall surface can support the weight of a double-panel radiator, utilizing appropriate fixings for the specific wall type (e.g., masonry or stud).

To maintain the aesthetic and efficiency:

  1. Keep the powder-coated surface clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  2. Periodically bleed the radiator to remove trapped air, ensuring even water distribution through the 34 tubes.
  3. Verify compatibility with standard thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) for better temperature control and energy efficiency.
