FAQs

What type of valves are compatible with this radiator?

This radiator is compatible with standard 15mm radiator valves. Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) or manual valves can be used. Please ensure you purchase them separately.

Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?

While the radiator provides excellent heat output, its raw metal finish might not be ideal for high-humidity environments like bathrooms without proper sealing and maintenance to prevent corrosion. For bathrooms, consider finishes specifically designed for such conditions.

What is the BTU output of this radiator?

The heat output is 4724 BTUs at a standard 60°C water temperature.

Does the radiator come with a wall mounting kit?

Mounting brackets are typically included with radiators. Please refer to the product manual or retailer for confirmation.

Can I paint this radiator?

The raw metal finish can be painted, but it's recommended to use a primer suitable for metal and then a radiator-compatible paint to ensure durability and a smooth finish. It's advisable to consult with a paint specialist for the best products.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

This Kartell Laser Klassic radiator comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

How do I clean and maintain the raw metal finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For maintaining the shine, use a specific metal polish for raw metal surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up fully

Check if air is trapped in the system and bleed the radiator using a radiator key. Ensure the central heating system is on and set to the correct temperature. Verify that radiator valves are fully open.

Leaking from valve connection

Turn off the water supply to the radiator. Tighten the valve connection slightly. If the leak persists, you may need to replace the valve or the seal.

Noise from the radiator

Gurgling noises often indicate trapped air, which can be resolved by bleeding the radiator. Knocking or pinging sounds might be due to expansion and contraction of the pipes or radiator; ensure pipework is adequately clipped.

Raw metal finish appears dull or oxidized

Clean the radiator with a soft cloth. Use a suitable metal polish designed for raw or unfinished metals to restore the shine. Ensure the room has adequate ventilation to minimize condensation if this is a contributing factor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Installation Location: Choose a suitable wall space, ideally on an external wall or beneath a window, ensuring adequate clearance from the floor and any obstructions.
  2. Plumbing: Connect the radiator to your existing central heating system using appropriate pipework. Ensure correct pipe sizing and connection types for your system.
  3. Valves: Attach compatible radiator valves (sold separately) to the inlet and outlet connections. Ensure they are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
  4. Bleeding: After installation and filling the system, bleed the radiator using a radiator key to remove any trapped air and ensure full water circulation.

  • Ensure your system can support the required water temperature and pressure.
  • Radiator valves are not included; ensure you purchase compatible thermostatic or manual valves.

Care:

  • For the raw metal finish, occasional polishing with a suitable metal polish may be required to maintain its appearance, depending on environmental conditions.
  • Periodically check for leaks at the valve connections and bleed the radiator if you notice cold spots, indicating trapped air.
