Full details

FAQs

What type of heating system is this radiator best suited for?

The Kartell K-Rad Kollection Type 11 radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe systems, diversion tees are recommended for optimal performance.

What is included with the radiator for installation?

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

What is the finish of the radiator?

The radiator features a durable white enamel (RAL9016) finish, achieved through a multi-step coating process for longevity and aesthetics.

How do I clean the radiator?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent diluted in water, then rinse and dry.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

The radiator is covered by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against manufacturing faults.

Can I use 3/4" pipe connections with this radiator?

The radiator has 4 x 1/2" connections as standard. 3/4" valve adaptors are available separately for this option.

Is this radiator suitable for a single-pipe system without modifications?

While it can technically connect to a single-pipe system, optimal performance requires the installation of diversion tees in the pipework to regulate water flow.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up evenly.

Check if the system is a two-pipe installation. If it's a single-pipe system, ensure diversion tees are correctly installed. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air.

Radiator is making noise.

Ensure the radiator is securely mounted and that the plastic inserts in the brackets are correctly positioned. Some expansion/contraction noise is normal, but excessive noise may indicate installation issues.

Leaking from connections or vent.

Ensure the nickel-plated plug and vent are tightened securely. If leaks persist, check the integrity of the fittings and connections to the pipework. Professional assistance may be required.

Surface finish appears damaged.

Inspect the finish for any signs of damage incurred during installation or from harsh cleaning agents. For minor scuffs, touch-up paint might be an option, but significant damage may require professional assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

All necessary installation components are included with the Kartell K-Rad Kollection Type 11 radiator. This comprises robust wall brackets, a fixing kit (including plugs and screws), and a nickel-plated plug and vent. The brackets are designed for secure and easy mounting, featuring open tops and deep slots. Plastic inserts help to seat the radiator precisely, reducing noise from thermal expansion. The nickel-plated plug and vent ensure a watertight connection.

Compatibility:

This radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems as standard. For installations with single-pipe systems, it is advised to incorporate diversion tees within the pipework to ensure optimal water flow and heating efficiency. Standard connections are 4 x 1/2" fittings. 3/4" valve adaptors are available separately if required.

Care:

To maintain the pristine white enamel finish, clean the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the coating. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent diluted in water can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dried with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the radiator is cool before cleaning.
