How often should I bleed the radiator?

The radiator is constructed from premium quality 1.5mm thick mild steel for strength and durability.

What is the warranty period for this product?

This Milano radiator comes with a 20-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold or not heating effectively

Check if the radiator needs bleeding to release trapped air. Ensure the radiator valves are fully open and the central heating system is operational. Verify the BTU output is sufficient for the room size.

Leaking from valve connections

Ensure valve connections are tightened correctly. Check that the valve tails are properly seated and sealed. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Radiator is making banging or gurgling noises

This usually indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator to remove the air. If the noise continues, there may be an issue with system pressure or circulation.

Finish is chipped or damaged

For minor chips, touch-up paint compatible with RAL 7016 anthracite might be used cautiously. For significant damage, professional refinishing or replacement may be necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials.

Pros and Cons

  • High heat output effectively warms rooms.
  • Durable 1.5mm steel construction ensures longevity.
  • Stylish anthracite finish complements contemporary interiors.
  • Includes necessary fixings for installation.
  • Comes with a 20-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • Radiator valves are not included and must be purchased separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires plumbing expertise. Ensure the system is drained before connecting the radiator. Use the provided wall fixings and brackets for secure mounting. Remember to purchase compatible radiator valves (not included) and connect them according to the valve manufacturer's instructions. A blanking plug and bleed plug are included for completing the setup.

Compatibility: This radiator is suitable for all UK central heating systems, including combi, system, and tank-fed setups. It operates up to a maximum of 10 bar pressure. Ensure your existing system can support the radiator's heat output requirements.

Care: To maintain the anthracite finish, clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the powder coating. Bleed the radiator if you notice cold spots, using the provided bleed plug and a radiator bleed key.
