Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This radiator is designed for use with all standard UK central heating systems, including combi boilers, system boilers, and conventional tank-fed systems. Ensure your system can support the radiator's dimensions and heat output requirements.
Setup:
- Gather Components: You will need the included wall fixings, brackets, blanking plug, and bleed plug. Radiator valves and pipe covers are typically sold separately.
- Positioning: Determine the optimal location for the radiator, considering pipe access and heat distribution. Ensure sufficient clearance from the floor and any obstructions.
- Mounting: Securely attach the wall brackets to the wall using appropriate wall plugs for your wall type. The radiator's weight (59.5 lbs) requires a robust mounting solution.
- Connection: Connect the radiator to your existing pipework using suitable radiator valves (not included).
- Filling & Bleeding: Once connected, fill the system and bleed any air from the radiator using the included bleed plug to ensure efficient operation.
Care:
- Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder-coated finish.
- Periodically check for any signs of corrosion or damage, especially around fittings.
- Bleed the radiator annually or if you notice reduced heat output to maintain optimal performance.
