FAQs
What is the heat output of this radiator?
The exact heat output (in BTUs or Watts) depends on the specific system water temperatures. Consult the product's technical specifications or a heating engineer for precise figures based on your system.
Can this radiator be used in a bathroom?
While aesthetically pleasing, this model is not specifically designed for bathrooms, which often require radiators with higher moisture resistance or towel rails. Ensure it is installed away from direct water sources and consider sealant if used in a high-humidity area.
How do I clean the radiator fins?
Use a radiator cleaning brush or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to reach between the fins and remove dust and debris. A damp cloth can be used for external surfaces.
What type of valves are recommended?
Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) are recommended for controlling room temperature efficiently and saving energy. Standard manual valves can also be used.
Is this radiator suitable for low-temperature heating systems?
This radiator is designed for standard central heating systems. For low-temperature systems, consult the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility and adequate heat output.
What is the warranty period for Stelrad radiators?
Stelrad typically offers a comprehensive warranty on their radiators, often around 10 years, covering manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty documentation provided with your purchase for exact terms and conditions.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up fully
Check if the thermostatic valve is set correctly and not fully closed. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Ensure the central heating system is operational and circulating water.
Radiator making banging or knocking noises
This often indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator again. If the noise persists, check for water hammer in the pipework, which may require a plumber's attention.
Leaking from valve connections
Tighten the valve connections slightly. If leaking continues, the valve may need replacement or re-sealing by a professional.
Uneven heating across the radiator surface
This can be caused by sludge build-up or air pockets. Bleed the radiator and consider a system flush if this is a recurring issue across multiple radiators.
