FAQs
What type of radiator valves should I buy?

Can this radiator be installed horizontally?
Yes, although marked vertical, it includes extra brackets specifically for horizontal installation, offering flexibility in placement.
What is the heat output of this radiator?
The radiator has a heat output of 3910 BTUs / 1146 Watts when measured at T50 (Delta T 50°C) and 2116 BTUs / 620 Watts when measured at T30 (Delta T 30°C).
What are the dimensions of the radiator?
The dimensions are 354mm in width, 1780mm in height, and 72mm in depth.
What material is the radiator made from?
It is constructed from premium quality 1.5mm mild steel for strength and durability.
Does the radiator come with wall fixings?
Yes, it includes blanking and bleed plugs, along with the necessary wall fixings for installation.
How should I clean the anthracite finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the powder coating.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up evenly
Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. If the problem persists, check that the radiator valves are fully open and that there are no blockages in the pipework or radiator itself. Ensure the central heating system is functioning correctly.
Leaking from valve connections
Check that the radiator valves are securely tightened to the radiator tails. If leaks persist, the thread sealant or PTFE tape may need to be replaced. Ensure the correct type of valve is used.
Radiator feels cold at the top but warm at the bottom
This indicates trapped air. Use the bleed valve to release the air until water starts to come out, then close the valve.
Anthracite finish appears dull or scratched
Clean gently with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials. Minor scratches may be difficult to repair without professional refinishing.
