Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up
Check if the central heating system is on and functioning. Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Ensure radiator valves are fully open. Verify that the system is providing sufficient heat and that the radiator's BTU output is adequate for the room size.
Radiator is only partly hot
This usually indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator, starting from the top valve, until water begins to emerge. Ensure the system is properly balanced.
Leaking from radiator connections
Tighten the radiator valve connections carefully. If leaks persist, the fitting may be faulty, and professional attention may be required. Ensure appropriate PTFE tape or sealant was used during installation.
Noise from the radiator
Gurgling sounds often indicate trapped air, which can be resolved by bleeding. Banging or pinging noises might be due to thermal expansion or water flow issues within the system; consult a heating engineer.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Efficient heating performance due to double convector design.
Modern and minimalist aesthetic enhances room decor.
Durable construction ensures a long lifespan.
Compact size is suitable for spaces where traditional radiators might be too bulky.
Available in multiple RAL colours for customisation (requires separate inquiry).
Cons
Radiator valves are not included and must be purchased separately.

Mild steel construction can be susceptible to corrosion if not properly maintained in certain environments.
Specific connection tapping measurements (C/C 345mm or 82.5/97.5mm) may require precise plumbing planning.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Professional Installation Recommended: Due to plumbing requirements, professional installation by a qualified heating engineer is strongly advised. Incorrect installation can lead to leaks and performance issues.
Mounting: Ensure the wall can support the weight of the radiator when filled with water. Use appropriate fixings. An optional safety stay is recommended for secure mounting.
Pipe Connection: Connect the radiator to your central heating system using appropriate radiator valves (sold separately). Ensure correct C/C tapping measurements (345mm or 82.5/97.5mm) are matched with your pipework or adaptors.
System Filling: Once installed, the central heating system should be filled and bled of all air.
Compatibility:
Compatible with standard central heating systems.
Requires appropriate radiator valves (straight, angled, or corner) which must be purchased separately.
Optional stay available for added safety and stability.
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the radiator surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the paint finish.
Maintenance: Periodically check for leaks and bleed the radiator if necessary. Ensure the central heating system is maintained according to manufacturer guidelines. For mild steel radiators, maintaining a balanced system pH can help prevent internal corrosion.
