Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. Ensure radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Verify that the system pressure is adequate.

Leaking from connections or valves

Turn off the heating system and isolate the radiator. Tighten any loose connections at the valves or pipework. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Uneven heating across the radiator

This often indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator, starting from the top valve. If the issue persists, the system may require balancing.

Radiator making gurgling or banging noises

These noises usually signify trapped air within the system or radiator. Bleed the radiator to release the air. Check system pressure as low pressure can cause similar issues.

  4. Installing Valves: Attach radiator valves (sold separately) to the radiator.
  5. Filling & Bleeding: Once connected, fill the system and bleed any air from the radiator using the supplied bleed plug.

Care: To maintain the radiator's appearance and performance:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the powder coating.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the system pressure and bleed the radiator if necessary to ensure optimal efficiency.
  • Drainage: When draining the central heating system for maintenance, ensure the radiator is properly isolated and refilled afterward.
