FAQs

What type of heating system is the Reina Serpe designed for?

The Reina Serpe is designed for standard hot water central heating systems. It connects to your home's main boiler and pipework.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

This model is 750mm in height and 500mm in width.

What finishes are available for the Serpe towel radiator?

The Serpe is available in an anthracite finish (as described) and a classic chrome finish.

How should I clean and maintain the radiator's finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.

What does the 5-year guarantee cover?

The 5-year guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and structural integrity under normal use. Refer to Reina's specific warranty terms for full details.

Can I install this myself?

Installation involves plumbing and should ideally be carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure safety and correct operation.

Does it come with valves?

Valves are usually sold separately. It's recommended to purchase compatible radiator valves, such as thermostatic ones, for optimal control.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Ensure your central heating system is functioning correctly and that valves are fully open.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the heating system, drain the affected section, and tighten the connections. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Exterior finish appears dull

Clean the surface with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Strange noises from the radiator

These can sometimes be caused by water flow. Ensure valves are correctly set and check for air within the system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking and unique design that acts as a bathroom centerpiece.
  • Constructed from durable materials for long-lasting use.
  • Provides excellent heat output, efficiently warming towels.
  • Available in multiple finishes to match different bathroom styles.
  • Backed by a 5-year guarantee for customer confidence.

Cons

  • The unconventional design may not fit all bathroom styles, especially traditional ones.

  • Square tubes, while efficient, differ from traditional round radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. The Reina Serpe is designed for central heating systems. Ensure compatibility with your existing plumbing.
  2. Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connections and prevent leaks.
  3. The radiator comes with necessary mounting brackets, but specific valves (e.g., thermostatic radiator valves) are typically sold separately.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard hot water central heating systems.
  • Consider the BTU output requirement for your specific bathroom size to ensure adequate heating.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse with clean water.
  • Ensure any water used for cleaning does not come into contact with electrical components if a dual-fuel or electric version were ever to be considered (though this model is for central heating).
  • Periodically check fixings to ensure the radiator remains securely mounted.
