Product Information

Full details

The Reina Melvin Vertical Radiator is designed for homeowners seeking a modern aesthetic paired with efficient heating. Its standout benefit is the space-saving vertical design that delivers substantial warmth without compromising floor space. A key consideration is its suitability for contemporary interiors, as its bold design may not suit all decor styles. This radiator features a durable aluminum build with fine vertical grooves, offering both striking looks and effective heat distribution. Available in multiple finishes and sizes, it provides flexible installation options for central heating, dual fuel, or electric-only setups, all backed by a 5-year guarantee.

Can I install this myself?

Professional installation is strongly recommended for all configurations (central heating, dual fuel, electric) to ensure safety and proper function.

What is the difference between dual fuel and electric-only installation?

Dual fuel allows the radiator to be heated by your central heating system or by an electric heating element. Electric-only means it runs solely on electricity via an element, independent of your central heating.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

For central heating systems, check if the thermostat is set correctly and if the boiler is functioning. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. For dual fuel or electric installations, ensure the electric element is switched on and correctly wired.

Uneven heating from the radiator

This may indicate trapped air. Bleed the radiator. If the issue persists, especially with central heating, balancing the system might be necessary.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the water supply to the radiator if on a central heating system. Tighten the relevant connection gently. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Electric element not working

Check the power supply to the unit and ensure the element is switched on. Verify that the fuse or circuit breaker is not tripped. If issues continue, the element may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Professional installation is recommended for all configurations (central heating, dual fuel, electric) to ensure safety and optimal performance. Ensure your existing plumbing or electrical system is compatible with the chosen installation method. Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual closely.

Compatibility:

  • Central Heating: Compatible with standard domestic central heating systems. Ensure your system's pressure and temperature ratings are suitable.
  • Dual Fuel: Requires a compatible electric heating element (sold separately or bundled) and a suitable electrical connection near the radiator.
  • Electric Only: Requires a dedicated electrical circuit. Ensure the wattage of the electric element is appropriate for the radiator size and room heating requirements.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for leaks if connected to a central heating system. For electric elements, ensure connections remain clean and secure.
