Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are valves included in the box?

No, valves are not included with the Riace radiator and must be purchased separately based on your specific piping setup.

Can I install this on a stud wall?

Due to the weight of the double-panel steel construction, it is strongly recommended to mount the radiator on a solid masonry wall or ensure adequate reinforcement is added to stud walls.

What is the BTU output of this radiator?

This model provides 3687 BTU at Delta T50.

Does the radiator come with mounting hardware?

Yes, the package includes the radiator, wall fixings, wall plugs, and a blanking/bleed plug.

Is this suitable for all central heating systems?

Yes, it is designed to be compatible with standard domestic central heating systems.

How should I clean the surface?

Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with mild soapy water. Never use harsh chemicals or scouring pads as they may damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

Air is trapped inside the radiator. Use the provided bleed plug to vent the trapped air until water flows steadily.

Radiator is cold at the bottom

This may indicate a buildup of sludge or a circulation issue. Consult a heating professional to flush the system.

Leaking around valve connections

Check that the valves are correctly installed and tightened. You may need additional PTFE tape on the valve threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure the radiator is correctly integrated into your central heating circuit. The unit includes the necessary wall fixings and plugs; however, please verify that your wall structure is suitable for the weight of a double-panel steel radiator.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Regularly check the bleed plug to ensure no trapped air is affecting heating efficiency.
  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the brown finish.
  • If the radiator remains cold after installation, ensure that the system has been properly bled of air and that the valves are fully opened.
