FAQs

Is this radiator compatible with electric-only heating systems?

No, this model is specifically engineered for connection to standard wet central heating systems.

Can I install this radiator myself?

While experienced DIYers might attempt it, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure safety and system efficiency.

How do I determine if my wall can support this radiator?

The wall must be solid masonry or properly reinforced timber stud. Consult with your installer to ensure the wall structure can bear the weight of the double-panel unit.

Does the radiator come with mounting brackets?

Yes, it typically includes the necessary wall-mounting brackets for standard installations.

What is the best way to clean the space between the double panels?

A long-handled, thin radiator brush can be used to remove dust from between the panels without damaging the finish.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

The radiator likely has trapped air. Use a radiator key to carefully open the bleed valve until water begins to escape.

Unit is not heating up evenly

Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is set correctly and the system is balanced by an engineer to ensure proper water flow.

Surface finish appears dusty or marked

Wipe down with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with warm water. Do not use acidic or bleach-based cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient use of vertical wall space
  • Modern, understated grey aesthetic
  • High thermal output from dual panel construction
  • Durable build quality for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Requires professional plumbing for vertical installation
  • Vertical design may not be suitable for low-ceiling rooms
  • Weight requires secure wall mounting points

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure the radiator is correctly balanced within your existing central heating system. Ensure the chosen wall is capable of supporting the weight of the steel construction; stud walls may require reinforced backing before mounting. To maintain the finish, clean only with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive chemicals that could damage the grey coating. Periodically bleed the radiator to prevent air locks and ensure the system maintains maximum efficiency throughout the heating season.
