Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure you have all necessary components (radiator, brackets, screws, airvent, blind plugs).
- Bracket Installation: Attach the L-shaped brackets to the wall, using appropriate fixings for your wall type.
- Radiator Mounting: Hang the radiator onto the installed brackets.
- Plumbing Connection: Connect the radiator to your existing plumbing using the standard G1/2 inch connections. Tighten the connections to prevent leaks.
- Bleeding: Once the system is filled, bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air.
Compatibility
The K Rad Kompact Type 11 radiator is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems.
Ensure your heating system can handle the radiator's BTU output.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe down the radiator with a damp cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Inspections: Regularly check for leaks around the connections.
- Maintenance: Bleed the radiator periodically to remove trapped air, which can reduce heating efficiency.
