Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Check that the central heating system is turned on and functioning. Ensure valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check valve seals and pipe fittings. If the leak persists, consult a professional plumber.

Uneven heating

Bleed the radiator to remove air. Ensure the system pressure is correct. If one radiator is significantly colder than others, there may be a balancing issue within the system.

Damage to the finish

While the coating is durable, avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools. Minor scratches can sometimes be touched up with appropriate paint, but contact customer support for guidance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Planning: Before installation, review the user manual and ensure you have all necessary components. It is recommended to purchase the radiator and valves *before* fitting the pipework to ensure accurate measurements.
  2. Mounting: Use the provided wall fixings and wall plugs to securely mount the radiator. Ensure the wall can support the weight of the radiator when filled with water.
  3. Connections: Connect the radiator to your central heating system using appropriate fittings. Note the wall-to-radiator face (93 mm) and pipe center measurements (63 mm from wall, 624 mm pipe-to-pipe).
  4. Bleeding: Once connected, bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air and ensure optimal performance.

Compatibility:

  • Heating Systems: Fully compatible with all standard central heating systems.
  • Pressure: Maximum operating pressure of 4 bar.
  • Valves: Valves are not included. Compatible with standard inch BSP fittings. It is advisable to purchase matching valves for a seamless look and optimal function.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the radiator with a damp cloth. The powder-coated finish resists scratches, stains, impacts, chemicals, and UV exposure, allowing for repeated cleaning without affecting its appearance.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for any air in the system and bleed the radiator as needed. Ensure the protective coating remains intact.
