FAQs

Is this radiator suitable for electric-only heating systems?

No, this radiator is designed to be connected to a central heating system and is not suitable for electric-only heating.

What is the thread size for the connections?

The radiator uses UK standard 1/2" BSP connections for the valves.

How do I clean the brushed bronze finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products or scouring pads to prevent damage.

Can I install this myself?

While DIY installation is possible for those with plumbing experience, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure correct and safe setup.

What does 'thermostatic valve' mean?

A thermostatic valve allows you to automatically regulate the heat output of the radiator to maintain a specific room temperature, offering comfort and potential energy savings.

How do I ensure it works with my UK central heating system?

The radiator is designed for compatibility with standard UK central heating systems. Ensure your system is functioning and that the connections match the 1/2" BSP standard.

What is the benefit of low-carbon steel and brass construction?

Low-carbon steel provides durability and longevity for the rails, while the full brass construction of the valves ensures reliable performance and resistance to corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Check that the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. Ensure the thermostatic valve is turned to a setting above the current room temperature. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Verify that the lock shield valve is open.

Uneven heating across the rails

This may indicate air trapped in the system. Bleed the radiator. If the issue persists, it could be a balancing problem within the heating system, which may require professional attention.

Leaking from valve connections

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If leaking persists, the internal seal of the valve may be compromised, or the thread tape may need replacing. Professional assistance may be required.

Thermostatic valve not regulating temperature

Ensure the valve head is correctly fitted. Try adjusting the temperature setting. If the valve remains unresponsive, it may need to be replaced.
