FAQs

What size radiator valves do I need for this radiator?

This radiator typically requires standard 1/2" BSP radiator valves. You will need one lockshield valve and one control valve (manual or thermostatic).

Is installation difficult?

While the radiator includes fixings, installation involves connecting to a central heating system. It is recommended to have a qualified plumber install it to ensure safety and proper function.

How do I maintain the brushed brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

What is the heat output measured in?

The heat output is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units) and Watts. The values provided are typically at standard temperature differences (T50 and T30).

Does this radiator come with a warranty?

Yes, the Milano Alpha radiator comes with a 20-year guarantee, reflecting its quality construction.

Can I use a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) with this?

Yes, you can use a thermostatic radiator valve with this radiator to control the room temperature more precisely.

What are the dimensions of the radiator?

The dimensions are 1600mm in height, 450mm in width, and 58mm in depth.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up fully

Check that radiator valves are open. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Ensure the central heating system is functioning correctly and other radiators are heating up.

Leaking from valves or connections

Tighten the connections gently. If leaking persists, the valve or fitting may need replacement or re-sealing by a professional.

Noisy radiator (e.g., banging, rattling)

This could be air in the system; bleed the radiator. Check that the radiator is securely mounted and not vibrating against walls or pipes.

Uneven heating (cold spots)

Bleed the radiator to remove air. If the cold spots persist at the bottom, it may indicate sludge in the system, requiring a system flush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have purchased compatible radiator valves (not included).
  2. Identify the desired mounting location, ensuring it is structurally sound to support the radiator's weight (51.37 lbs).
  3. Use the provided wall fixings, wall plugs, blanking plug, and bleed plug. Installation should ideally be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connection to your central heating system and to comply with building regulations.
  4. Attach valves to the radiator and connect to the heating pipework.
  5. Bleed the radiator after installation to remove any air.

Compatibility:

  • This radiator is designed for use with standard central heating systems.
  • It requires two radiator valves (one lockshield, one lockshield or manual/thermostatic control valve), which must be purchased separately.
  • Ensure your system's pressure and temperature ratings are suitable for this radiator.

Care:

  • Clean the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brushed brass finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
  • Periodically check and tighten fittings if necessary, and bleed the radiator annually or if you notice cold spots.
