FAQs

Is this radiator compatible with electric heating?

Does this unit come with valves?

No, radiator valves are not included and must be purchased separately based on your existing pipework.

What is the maximum working pressure?

The radiator is rated for a maximum working pressure of 4 bar.

Can I paint this radiator?

It is not recommended to paint the unit, as this may affect the heat output and void the manufacturer's finish quality.

What is the wall-to-center distance for the pipes?

The distance from the wall to the center of the pipe connections is 44mm.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

Air is likely trapped in the system. Use the included vent to bleed the radiator until water flows out.

Radiator is leaking at the connection

Check that pipe fittings are tightened correctly and ensure PTFE tape was applied to the threads.

Radiator feels loose on the wall

Inspect the wall fixings provided and ensure they are anchored securely into the masonry or studwork.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For proper installation, ensure your wall can support the weight of the radiator. The unit projects 71mm from the wall, with a wall-to-center distance of 44mm for pipework connections. 1. Turn off the heating system before installation. 2. Use the provided wall fixings to securely mount the brackets. 3. Connect the radiator to your hot water central heating pipes using appropriate valves (not included). 4. Tighten all connections and use the included vent to release trapped air after filling the system. For care, wipe the silver finish with a soft, damp cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or metal scourers that could scratch the metallic surface.
