FAQs

What type of heating system is this radiator best suited for?

The Kartell K-RAD Kompact Type 21 radiator is designed for two-pipe central heating systems. For single-pipe systems, it is advisable to use diversion tees for optimal performance.

What is included with the radiator?

The radiator comes complete with factory-fitted top grille and side panels, 4 x 1/2" connections, wall brackets, a fixing kit (plugs, screws, screw caps), and a nickel-plated plug and air vent.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

This radiator is covered by the Kartell "No Quibble Guarantee" against any manufacturing faults for 10 years.

How do I clean the radiator?

Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the white enamel finish.

Can this radiator be used in a bathroom?

While suitable for general room heating, ensure it is installed according to safety regulations for wet areas. It is not specifically designed as a heated towel rail.

What does 'Type 21' mean for a radiator?

Type 21 indicates a double panel radiator with a single convector positioned between them. This design provides a higher heat output compared to single-panel radiators.

Should I use an inhibitor when installing?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use a central heating system inhibitor when installing any new radiator. An inhibitor helps protect your system from limescale and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly or at all

Check if the system is correctly filled and bled. Ensure valves are fully open. If on a single-pipe system, verify diversion tees are installed correctly. Air in the system is a common cause; bleed the radiator via the air vent.

Leaking at connection points

Ensure all fittings are securely tightened. Check the integrity of any pipe seals or washers. If leaks persist, professional assessment may be required.

Radiator making noise (e.g., banging, rattling)

This can be due to air in the system, which should be bled. Ensure the radiator is securely seated on its brackets, as plastic inserts help minimize noise from expansion and contraction.

Low heat output

Ensure the radiator is properly connected and water is circulating correctly. Check that the valves are not partially closed. For single-pipe systems, ensure diversion tees are installed correctly. Consider if the radiator size is appropriate for the room's heating requirements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High heat output for its size, suitable for various room types.
  • Elegant design with factory-fitted grilles and side panels.
  • Includes all necessary fixings for installation.
  • Durable white enamel finish.
  • Backed by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for two-pipe heating systems; requires diversion tees for single-pipe installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Area: Ensure the wall is capable of supporting the radiator's weight when filled with water. Mark the bracket positions according to the desired height and spacing.
  2. Mount Brackets: Securely fix the provided L-shaped wall brackets to the wall using the supplied screws and plugs. Ensure they are level and at the correct distance from each other.
  3. Connect Pipework: Attach the radiator to your existing heating pipes using appropriate fittings for the 1/2" connections. Ensure all connections are watertight.
  4. Install Plug and Vent: Screw in the nickel-plated plug and air vent into the designated ports.
  5. Hang Radiator: Carefully hang the radiator onto the wall brackets. The pre-fitted holders on the radiator's back should slot securely into the brackets.
  6. System Fill and Bleed: Fill the central heating system and bleed any air from the radiator using the air vent until water is emitted.

Compatibility:

  • Heating Systems: Designed for two-pipe central heating systems. For single-pipe systems, the use of diversion tees is recommended to achieve optimal performance.
  • Connections: Features standard 1/2" connection threads.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the enamel finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for leaks at the connections. Bleed the radiator if it feels cold at the top.
  • System Protection: It is highly recommended to use a central heating system inhibitor during installation and with any system flush to protect against limescale and corrosion.
