FAQs
How do I install the DuraTherm Heated Towel Rail?
Installation involves connecting the rail to your central heating system's pipework. It's recommended to have a qualified plumber perform the installation to ensure correct and safe connections. Radiator valves, which are essential for operation, are not included and must be purchased separately.
What type of valves do I need for this towel rail?
You will need standard radiator valves to connect the towel rail to your central heating system. These are available in various styles (e.g., straight, angled) and are sold separately. Ensure they are compatible with your pipework.
Can this towel rail be used with an electric heating element?
No, this model is designed exclusively for connection to a central heating system. It is not compatible with electric heating elements.
What is the heat output of this towel rail?
The heat output varies based on the water temperature difference. It produces 1603 BTU (DeltaT50), 837 BTU (DeltaT30), and 2240 BTU (DeltaT65). In Watts, this is 470W (DeltaT50), 245W (DeltaT30), and 656W (DeltaT65).
How often should I clean the towel rail?
For best results and to maintain the finish, clean the towel rail regularly with a soft, damp cloth. More thorough cleaning can be done as needed using mild soap and water, followed by drying.

What are the dimensions of the towel rail?
The towel rail measures 1800mm in height, 450mm in width, and has a depth of 85mm. The projection from the wall ranges from 74mm to 84mm.
Troubleshooting
Towel rail is not heating up
Check if the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. Ensure radiator valves are fully open. If the unit is only partially warm, there might be air trapped; bleed the radiator using a radiator key. Verify that the system's water temperature is within the specified range (40°C - 95°C).
Leaking from connections
Ensure all connections, especially those to the radiator valves, are securely tightened. If leaking persists, the seals may need replacing, or professional plumbing assistance may be required.
Uneven heating
This could indicate trapped air. Try bleeding the radiator. Also, check the water flow through the system to ensure it's balanced. If the issue persists, consult a heating engineer.
Surface finish appears dull or discolored
This may be due to improper cleaning agents. Use only a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals. For persistent discoloration, consult the manufacturer's care guide or a specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This heated towel rail connects to your central heating system, much like a standard radiator. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper connection to your plumbing and heating circuits. Ensure you have the necessary radiator valves (not included) which are crucial for controlling water flow and isolating the unit for maintenance. The rail has 4 connections, typically two for flow and two for return.
Compatibility:
- Fuel Type: Operates on Central Heating systems only.
- Water Temperature: Suitable for systems with a maximum water temperature of 95°C and a minimum of 40°C.
- Valves: Requires compatible radiator valves (straight or angled) to be purchased separately.
Care:
To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean the rail regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Ensure the rail is cool before cleaning.
