Product Information

Full details

The Bray Thermostatic Electric Heated Towel Rail is designed for homeowners seeking a reliable and energy-efficient heating solution for their bathrooms. Its standout benefit is the R3 thermostatic element, which allows for precise temperature management and scheduling to ensure warm towels whenever needed. While its robust 1.5mm steel construction provides excellent longevity, users should note that the unit requires a professional electrician for proper hardwired installation to ensure safety and compliance with bathroom zone regulations.

FAQs

Can I install this towel rail myself?

No, this unit requires hardwired electrical installation which must be performed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance.

What does the IP64 rating mean?

The IP64 rating confirms that the unit is protected against splashing water from any angle, making it safe for use in designated bathroom zones.

Is the timer battery-backed?

The R3 thermostatic element is designed to retain settings through its internal configuration, but it is recommended to check the manual regarding power loss behavior.

Can I use the boost mode if the timer is off?

Yes, the manual boost function acts as an override and can be engaged at any time to provide heat regardless of the current program.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Never use chemical solvents or abrasive brushes as they will scratch the silver coating.

Troubleshooting

Remote control is not changing settings

Ensure you have a clear line of sight to the receiver on the heating element and check if the remote batteries need replacement.

The rail does not heat up during a scheduled period

Verify that the time and day on the remote are synced correctly with the current local time and that the timer mode is active.

Rail feels cold despite power being on

Check if 'open window detection' has been triggered by a sudden draft, or ensure the thermostat set point is higher than the current room temperature.

  • High-quality 1.5mm steel construction for durability
  • Comprehensive weekly scheduling via IR remote
  • Compliant with modern ECO Design LOT20 energy standards
  • Versatile temperature control for room and radiator
  • IP64 rated for safe bathroom installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure all wiring meets safety standards for bathroom zones. The rail is designed as a hardwired unit; ensure the chosen wall location provides adequate space for airflow around the ladder rails. For care and maintenance, clean the silver-coated steel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the protective finish. Periodically check that the connection points are clear of debris to ensure the thermostatic sensors operate without interference.
