The heat output ranges from 1059 to 2835 BTU, depending on the Delta T (the temperature difference between the water in the radiator and the room).
What material is the towel rail made from?
It is constructed from durable mild steel.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.
What are the dimensions of the towel rail?
The dimensions are 1800mm in height, 450mm in width, and 90-110mm in depth.
What is the guarantee period for this product?
The DuraTherm heated towel rail comes with a 10-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Towel rail is not heating up
Ensure the central heating system is on and circulating water. Check that the radiator valves are fully open. If installed as dual-fuel, verify the heating element is powered and correctly set.
Leaking from connections
Turn off the water supply to the rail. Carefully tighten the connections at the valve points. If the leak persists, the seals may need replacing, or professional assistance may be required.
Uneven heating across rails
Air may be trapped in the system. Bleed the radiator by carefully opening the bleed valve at the top of the rail to release trapped air. Close the valve once water starts to drip out.
Rust spots appearing on the surface
While constructed from mild steel, ensure the protective coating is not compromised. Clean the area gently with a soft cloth. Avoid excessive moisture exposure if the heating is not active.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
