Kartell Type 11 Radiator Compact Single Panel Single Convector - White
The Kartell K-Rad Kollection of radiators will enhance any home with space saving classic elegance...The Kartell K-Rad Kollection of radiators will enhance any home with space saving classic elegance and efficiency. Internally welded with a final coating of white enamel (RAL9016), each radiator is degreased and zinc phosphated before being coated with water-based cathophoratic paint. The final coat is applied using an epoxy polyester electrostatic powder coating system that is baked to a hard finish. Kartell Kompact Radiators are manufactured using the latest state-of-the-art technology ensuring maximum efficiency. All radiators come complete with factory-fitted top grille and side panels. Covered by the Kartell "No Quibble Guarantee" against any manufacturing faults for 10 years.
Connections: Each K-RAD Kompact radiator has 4 x 1/2" connections as standard. 3/4" valve adaptors are available, which provides a 3/4" connector option to the valve without reducing performance.
Applications: K-RAD radiators are suitable for two-pipe installations. For single-pipe applications, it is advisable to use diversion tees in the pipework, as this will assist in obtaining design performance from the radiators.
Installation: Everything required for installation can be found within the robust packaging. Brackets are of a strong design, with open top and deep slots, which facilitates easy and secure installation. Plastic inserts seat the radiator precisely on the bracket, minimizing expansion and contraction noise. The neat nickel-plated plug and vent provide a watertight joint, whilst complementing the superior finish.

Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up
Check that the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. Ensure radiator valves are open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. If installed on a single-pipe system, check if diversion tees are correctly installed.
Radiator is making noise (gurgling or banging)
This usually indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator. Also, ensure the radiator is securely seated on its brackets to minimize expansion/contraction noise.
Leaking from connections
Turn off the water supply to the radiator. Tighten the relevant connection gently. If the leak persists, the fitting may need to be resealed or replaced.
Uneven heating
Bleed the radiator. Ensure the lockshield valve is set correctly. If the issue persists across multiple radiators, it may indicate a system-wide balancing problem.
