FAQs
Are radiator valves included with this towel rail?
No, radiator valves are not included. They must be purchased separately and are essential for connecting the towel rail to your heating system.
Can this towel rail be used with an electric-only heating system?
This model is designed for central heating systems or dual-fuel use. For electric-only, a specific electric-only heated towel rail would be required. However, it can be converted to dual-fuel by adding a heating element.
What is the heat output of this radiator?
The heat output ranges from 1338 to 3600 BTU, depending on the Delta T (the temperature difference between the radiator and the room).
What material is the towel rail made from?
It is constructed from premium mild steel for durability and excellent heat conductivity.
What are the exact dimensions of the towel rail?
The dimensions are 1800mm in height, 500mm in width, and the depth is between 96mm and 106mm.
Does the brushed brass finish match other brass items?
The brushed brass finish is designed to match other DuraTherm brushed brass items, but minor variances in colour or finish may occur.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 10-year guarantee.
How should I clean the brushed brass finish?
Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to maintain the finish's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Towel rail is not heating up
Ensure the central heating system is on and circulating water. Check that radiator valves are fully open. If using dual fuel, verify the heating element is powered and correctly installed.
Leaking from connections
Turn off water supply to the radiator. Tighten valve connections or re-apply PTFE tape/sealant as necessary. If leaks persist, consult a qualified plumber.
Uneven heating across rails
Air may be trapped in the system. Bleed the radiator by carefully opening the bleed valve at the top until water, not air, emerges. Ensure valves are fully open and water is circulating correctly.
Brushed brass finish appears dull
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for brass finishes and rinse thoroughly.
