FAQs

What is included with the Reina Capo towel rail?

The package includes the towel rail itself. Radiator valves, T-pieces, and electric heating elements are typically sold separately and depend on your chosen installation method (central heating, dual-fuel, or electric-only).

Can I install this towel rail myself?

Installation requires plumbing knowledge. If you are experienced with plumbing, you can install it yourself. Otherwise, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber to ensure correct and safe installation.

What type of valves do I need for central heating?

For a standard central heating connection, you will need two radiator valves. Angled or straight valves will depend on the orientation of your pipework.

How do I clean the white finish without damaging it?

Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring agents, as these can scratch or dull the finish.

What is the heat output measured in?

The heat output is measured in Watts (W) and British Thermal Units (BTU). The Reina Capo 800x400mm model provides 253 Watts or 863 BTU at Delta T50.

Is this towel rail suitable for bathrooms with high humidity?

Yes, the mild steel construction is designed for bathroom environments. However, ensuring adequate ventilation in the bathroom will help maintain the finish and prevent excessive moisture buildup.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Reina Capo Flat Heated Designer Ladder Towel Rail comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail is not heating up

Ensure the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. For electric models, check the power supply and the heating element. For dual-fuel, verify both the central heating and electric elements are operational. Check if radiator valves are fully open.

Uneven heating across the towel rail

Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Ensure the system pressure is adequate. Check for any potential blockages within the pipes or the rail itself.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the water supply to the radiator. Gently tighten the connections at the valves or where the pipes meet the rail. If the leak persists, ensure any seals or washers are intact and consider professional assistance.

Rust spots appearing on the surface

This is uncommon with quality steel but can occur in highly humid environments or if the protective coating is damaged. Clean gently with a mild abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Ensure the area is dry. For persistent issues, contact the manufacturer.
