How do I clean the grey finish?
Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Is professional installation required?
Yes, due to the nature of plumbing and central heating systems, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended.
Can this radiator be used in a bathroom?
While aesthetically pleasing, ensure the radiator's IP rating is suitable for bathroom zones if it is to be installed near water sources. Check product specifications for bathroom suitability.
What are the dimensions of this specific model?
The described model is 1800mm in height and 380mm in width.
How often should I bleed my radiators?
It's advisable to bleed radiators annually, or whenever you notice cold spots on the radiator surface, to ensure optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up evenly
Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. If the issue persists, check if valves are fully open and if there's a blockage in the pipework. Consider balancing the system.
Radiator making noise (clanking, banging)
This is often due to trapped air. Bleed the radiator. Ensure pipes are not expanding and contracting against fixed points.
Leaking from valves or connections
Ensure all fittings are securely tightened. If leaks persist, the valve seal may need replacing or the connection re-sealed by a professional plumber.
Low heat output despite being warm
Check for airlocks by bleeding the radiator. Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is not set too low or obstructed. Check system pressure and boiler operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber. Ensure correct connection to your existing central heating system, following the manufacturer's guidelines for pipework and valve fitting. The radiator requires appropriate wall fixings suitable for its weight when filled with water.
Compatibility: This radiator is designed for use with standard wet central heating systems. It is compatible with most combi boilers, system boilers, and conventional boilers. Ensure your system pressure and temperature ratings are within the radiator's specifications.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the grey coating. For internal cleaning, flush the system regularly as part of your annual boiler maintenance to prevent sludge build-up, which can affect performance.
