Each radiator is internally welded and finished with a white enamel (RAL9016) coating, undergoing a degreasing and zinc phosphating process before receiving a water-based cathophoratic paint application. The final epoxy polyester electrostatic powder coating is baked to a hard, durable finish. Manufactured using state-of-the-art technology, these Kartell Kompact Radiators ensure maximum efficiency. They come complete with a factory-fitted top grille and side panels, and are covered by Kartell's 10-year 'No Quibble Guarantee' against manufacturing faults. Connections: Each K-RAD Kompact radiator features 4 x 1/2" connections as standard. Optional 1/2" valve adaptors are available, providing a 1/2" connector option without performance reduction. Applications: K-RAD radiators are suitable for two-pipe installations. For single-pipe applications, it is advisable to use diversion tees in the pipework to achieve optimal performance. Installation: All necessary installation components are included in the robust packaging. The strong brackets, with open tops and deep slots, facilitate easy and secure mounting. Plastic inserts precisely seat the radiator on the bracket, minimizing noise from expansion and contraction. The neat nickel-plated plug and vent ensure a watertight joint while complementing the radiator's superior finish. Features: Type 11 - single panel with a convector, factory-fitted top grille and side panels. 4 x 1/2" connections. Includes wall brackets, fixing kit (plugs, screws), and an air vent. Designed for two-pipe heating systems; diversion tees are recommended for single-pipe applications. Nickel-plated plug and vent included. White enamel powder coat finish to RAL 9016.
This guide is for homeowners and installers looking for an efficient and elegantly designed radiator. The Kartell K-Rad Kollection offers space-saving classic elegance and a durable white enamel finish, ensuring maximum efficiency for your heating system. A key consideration is its suitability for two-pipe installations, with recommended adjustments for single-pipe systems.

Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating evenly
Ensure the system is a two-pipe installation or that diversion tees are correctly installed in a single-pipe system. Check that the air vent is not stuck open and that pipework is not blocked.
Noise from the radiator
Ensure the radiator is correctly seated on the brackets with the plastic inserts in place. Allow the radiator to fully heat and cool to identify if the noise is due to thermal expansion, which is normal but can be minimized by the bracket design.
Leaking connections
Carefully tighten the plug and vent, or pipe connections. If leaks persist, re-seal connections with appropriate PTFE tape or sealant and re-tighten.
Low heat output
Verify that the radiator is fully open on your heating system controls. Check for airlocks by carefully bleeding the radiator using the air vent. Ensure the system pressure is adequate.

Designed for quiet operation with noise-dampening features.
Ten-year 'No Quibble Guarantee' provides peace of mind.
Cons
Primarily designed for two-pipe heating systems; requires additional components for single-pipe systems.
Optional valve adaptors are not included as standard.
Specific dimensions (600 x 700) may not fit all spaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack the radiator and all included components. Verify that you have the radiator, wall brackets, fixing kit (plugs, screws), and nickel-plated plug and vent.
Determine the mounting location on your wall, ensuring it is suitable for the included brackets and can support the radiator's weight when filled with water.
Securely attach the wall brackets to the wall using the provided plugs and screws, ensuring they are level and spaced correctly for the radiator.
Attach the nickel-plated plug and air vent to the designated connections on the radiator, ensuring a watertight seal.
Carefully lift the radiator and seat it onto the wall brackets. The plastic inserts on the brackets will help secure the radiator and minimize noise.
Connect the radiator to your heating system's pipework.
Compatibility:
System Type: This radiator is suitable for two-pipe heating systems.
Single-Pipe Systems: For single-pipe applications, it is strongly recommended to use diversion tees in the pipework to ensure optimal performance.
Connections: Features 4 x 1/2" connections as standard. Optional 1/2" valve adaptors can be fitted if a single 1/2" connection is preferred.
Care:
To clean the white enamel finish, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating.
Periodically check connections for leaks and ensure the air vent is functioning correctly.
