FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Stelrad Elite K1 radiator?

The Stelrad Elite K1 radiator comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. Please contact Stelrad for full details and terms.

Are valves included with the radiator?

Valves are not typically included and must be purchased separately. The radiator has 4 tappings to accommodate integrated valve systems.

How efficient is this radiator?

The Elite range features precision-welded convectors directly onto the waterways, which enhances efficiency and economy of heat output, meeting BS EN 442 standards.

Can I install this radiator myself?

While supplied fully assembled for easier installation, connecting it to a central heating system involves plumbing work. If you are not experienced, it is recommended to use a qualified heating engineer.

What are the delivery times for larger orders?

Orders for radiators with dimensions above 2000mm have an estimated delivery time of up to 8 weeks.

How do I clean the radiator?

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, ensuring the radiator is cool. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does 'Single Panel Single Convector' mean?

It refers to the radiator's construction: a single sheet of metal (panel) with fins attached to the back (convectors) to increase the surface area for heat emission.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning. Ensure the radiator valve is open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air.

Radiator is only partly warm

This usually indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator from the top until water starts to appear. Ensure the system pressure is adequate.

Leaking from valve connection

Ensure the valve is securely tightened. If the leak persists, the valve or its fitting may need to be replaced or resealed by a qualified professional.

Unusual noises (banging, gurgling)

Gurgling sounds often mean air in the system; bleed the radiators. Banging could indicate system pressure issues or water hammer; consult a heating engineer.
