FAQs

What is a Type 22 radiator?

A Type 22 radiator features two steel panels with two convector fins sandwiched between them, providing higher heat output compared to Type 11 (single panel, single convector) or Type 21 (double panel, single convector) radiators.

Can this radiator be used with a single-pipe heating system?

Yes, but it is advisable to use diversion tees in the pipework to ensure optimal performance and even heating. Without them, the radiator may not reach its full heating potential.

What is included in the installation package?

The radiator comes complete with factory-fitted top grilles and side panels, wall brackets, a fixing kit (including plugs and screws), a nickel-plated plug, and an air vent.

How do I clean the radiator?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the white enamel coating.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

The Kartell K-Rad radiator is covered by the Kartell 'No Quibble Guarantee' against any manufacturing faults for 10 years from the date of purchase.

What are the maximum operating limits?

The radiator is suitable for operating pressures of up to 10 bar and a maximum operating temperature of 120°C.

Do I need to buy valves separately?

The radiator has 4 x 1/2" connections. You will typically need to purchase compatible radiator valves separately, depending on your plumbing setup. Adapters for 1/2" connections are available if required.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up sufficiently

Ensure the radiator is properly bled to remove trapped air. Check if diversion tees are used in a single-pipe system. Verify the central heating system is functioning correctly and the thermostat is set appropriately.

Leaking from connections

Gently tighten the relevant connection. If the leak persists, ensure appropriate sealing tape (e.g., PTFE tape) was used during installation and that the fittings are not damaged.

Radiator making noises

Expansions and contractions can cause minor noises. Ensure the radiator is seated correctly on its brackets; the plastic inserts should minimize this. Air trapped in the system can also cause gurgling sounds; bleed the radiator.

Exterior finish damaged

For minor scratches, consult the manufacturer for touch-up paint solutions. For significant damage, contact Kartell customer support regarding repair or replacement under warranty.

Pros and Cons

  • High heat output for its size due to double panel/convector design.
  • Durable and attractive white enamel finish.
  • Comprehensive installation kit included.
  • Long 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.
  • Modern, space-saving elegance.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure all components from the packaging are present: radiator, wall brackets, fixing kit (bolts, screws, plugs), nickel-plated plug, and air vent.
  2. Identify suitable wall locations, considering proximity to existing pipework and ensuring sufficient clearance for installation.
  3. Attach the brackets securely to the wall using the provided fixings. The open-top and deep-slot design facilitates precise placement.
  4. Connect the radiator to your central heating system using the 4 x 1/2" connections. Use the included plug and vent fittings to seal unused ports and the air vent.
  5. Mount the radiator onto the secured brackets. Plastic inserts help seat the radiator accurately and minimize noise.

Compatibility:

  • Heating Systems: Primarily designed for two-pipe central heating installations. For single-pipe systems, it is advisable to incorporate diversion tees into the pipework to ensure optimal performance.
  • Pressure & Temperature: Suitable for operating pressures up to 10 bar and a maximum operating temperature of 120°C.
  • Connections: Features 4 x 1/2" connections as standard. 1/2" valve adaptors are available for alternative valve types.

Care:

  • Clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the white enamel finish.
  • Bleed the radiator as needed using the air vent to remove trapped air and maintain efficiency.
  • Regularly check that fixings remain secure.
