FAQs

What is included with the Reina Capo towel rail?

The product includes the towel rail itself, wall brackets, an air vent plug, and blanking caps. Radiator valves, a t-piece, and an electric element may be required depending on your installation type and are not always included.

Can I install this myself?

Basic installation of the rail to the wall can be done by a competent DIYer. However, connecting it to a central heating, dual-fuel, or electric system often requires the expertise of a qualified plumber or heating engineer to ensure safety and prevent leaks.

How do I convert this to electric-only use?

To use the rail as electric-only, you will need to purchase a compatible electric heating element and a blanking cap. The element screws into one of the radiator's inlets, and the blanking cap seals the other.

What is the warranty period?

The Reina Capo Flat Heated Designer Ladder Towel Rail comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

What are the dimensions of the towel rail?

The towel rail measures 1200mm in height and 400mm in width, with 22mm diameter cross-tubes.

Does the anthracite color fade over time?

The anthracite finish is designed for durability in bathroom environments. With proper care and avoiding abrasive cleaners, the color should remain consistent.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail is not heating up.

Check if the central heating system is operational. For dual-fuel or electric-only installations, ensure the electric element is properly connected and powered on. For central heating, check for airlocks and bleed the radiator if necessary. Confirm valves are open.

Leaking from connections.

Turn off the water supply to the rail. Tighten the relevant fittings carefully. If leaking persists, you may need to re-apply thread sealant or consult a professional plumber.

Uneven heating (cold spots).

This usually indicates an airlock in the system. Bleed the radiator using the air vent plug to release trapped air. Ensure water is circulating properly.

Rust or corrosion on the surface.

Ensure only mild cleaning agents are used. Wipe dry after cleaning. If significant rust appears, contact the manufacturer regarding the guarantee, as this may indicate a defect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the towel rail to the wall using the provided brackets, ensuring it is level and securely fastened.
  2. Connect the rail to your chosen heating system:
  • Central Heating: Connect to your existing hot water system. Radiator valves are typically required but may be separate purchases.
  • Dual-Fuel: Install an electric element (sold separately) alongside the central heating connection. A t-piece may also be necessary.
  • Electric-Only: Install a compatible electric heating element (sold separately) and blanking cap.
  1. Ensure all connections are leak-free before use.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard central heating systems.
  • Adaptable for dual-fuel installations (requires electric element and potentially a t-piece).
  • Can be used for electric-only heating (requires compatible electric element).

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check connections for leaks, especially after initial installation or system changes.
  • For central heating systems, bleed the radiator if it becomes cold at the top.
