FAQs

What type of heating system is this radiator designed for?

The Kartell K-RAD Kompact Type 21 Radiator is primarily designed for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe systems, diversion tees are recommended for optimal performance.

What is included with the radiator?

The radiator is supplied with wall brackets, a fixing kit, an air vent, and a neat nickel-plated plug and vent.

How do I clean the radiator?

Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the finish.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

The Kartell "No Quibble Guarantee" covers manufacturing faults for 10 years from the date of purchase.

Can I use this radiator in a very large room?

This model is best suited for small to medium-sized rooms. For larger spaces, you may need multiple radiators or a higher BTU output model.

What are diversion tees and why might I need them?

Diversion tees are fittings used in single-pipe heating systems to help regulate the flow of hot water and ensure the radiator heats up more efficiently and evenly. They are recommended if you are installing this radiator on a single-pipe system.

What are the dimensions of this radiator?

The dimensions for this specific model are 500mm in height and 500mm in width.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up fully

Ensure the system is a two-pipe system or that diversion tees are installed correctly for a single-pipe system. Check that the radiator valve is fully open and that there are no blockages in the system.

Gurgling or knocking sounds from the radiator

The radiator may need bleeding. Use the provided air vent key to release trapped air. Ensure the system pressure is adequate after bleeding.

Water leak from connections

Turn off the heating system and isolate the radiator. Tighten the fittings carefully or contact a qualified plumber to address the leak.

Radiator exterior is dirty

Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse with clean water, then dry thoroughly.
