Product Information
Full details
The Reina Matera Heated Towel Rail is designed for homeowners seeking a space-efficient and stylish solution for bathroom heating. Its primary benefit is providing essential warmth and comfort in compact bathrooms, acting as a vertical radiator. A key consideration is that valves and heating elements are sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for full functionality.

Troubleshooting
Towel rail not heating up evenly
Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Ensure the central heating system is functioning correctly and the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is open. Check that the system is adequately pressurized.
Leaking from connections
Turn off the water supply to the radiator. Tighten the relevant fittings carefully. If the leak persists, the seals may need replacing by a qualified plumber.
No heat when using electric conversion
Check that the electric heating element is correctly installed and securely fitted. Ensure the power supply to the element is switched on and that the element itself is functioning.
Towel rail makes noise
Gurgling or knocking sounds usually indicate trapped air. Bleed the radiator. If the noise is a 'hissing' sound, it might be related to the water flow or the valve.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Space-efficient vertical design is excellent for small bathrooms.
- Durable mild steel construction ensures a long lifespan.

Cons
- Valves and heating element are not included and must be purchased separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This towel rail is designed for Central Heating Systems. It is also suitable for conversion to Electric or Dual Fuel systems, though specific conversion kits or heating elements and compatible valves will be required and are sold separately.
Installation:
- Ensure the wall is suitable for mounting the radiator and consider the bracket placement.
- The radiator can be mounted with pipe connections on either the left or right side.
- Pipe centres are 100mm, and the wall to pipe centre measurements are 61-76mm.
- Wall to front clearance is 110-125mm.
- Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and proper system integration.
Care: To maintain the chrome finish, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. Periodically check for any signs of corrosion, especially around connections. Ensure the system water is treated appropriately to prevent corrosion within the radiator itself.
