Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this towel rail compatible with electric heating elements?

This model is designed for plumbed central heating systems. Electric conversion is not supported for this specific product.

What type of radiator valves should I use?

Standard radiator valves are required. The type (e.g., angled, straight) depends on your pipework configuration. These are typically purchased separately.

What is the heat output in Watts?

The heat output is 639 Watts, equivalent to 2179 BTUs.

Does the anthracite finish fade over time?

The high-quality powder-coated finish is designed for durability and resistance to fading under normal bathroom conditions.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the heated towel rail, wall fixings, wall plugs, a blanking plug, and a bleed plug.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Can I install this myself?

While fixings are included, installation involves plumbing. We strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified plumber to ensure safety and proper function.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating up

Ensure the central heating system is on and circulating water. Check that radiator valves are fully open. Bleed any trapped air from the top of the rail using the bleed plug.

Leaking from connections

Check that all pipe connections are securely tightened. If the leak persists, the thread sealant or fitting may need to be replaced. Professional plumbing advice may be required.

Uneven heating (cold spots)

Trapped air is the most common cause. Bleed the rail using the bleed plug until only water emerges. If the issue persists, the system may require balancing.

Rust or discoloration on the surface

This is uncommon with the premium steel and powder coating. Ensure only mild cleaning agents are used. Check for damage to the finish that may have exposed the steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This heated towel rail is designed to be plumbed into your central heating system. Installation typically involves connecting it to your existing hot water pipes. Ensure you have the necessary valves (usually sold separately) for isolation and control. The rail must be mounted securely using the included wall fixings. For optimal performance and safety, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended.

Compatibility:

  • System Type: Compatible with standard domestic central heating systems (hot water circulation).
  • Valves: Requires suitable radiator valves (e.g., angled, straight) which are not included.
  • Space Requirements: Ensure sufficient wall space and clearance for the 1200mm x 600mm dimensions and pipe connections.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the anthracite finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check fixings for tightness. If the system is drained for any reason, ensure the bleed plug is used correctly to release any trapped air.
  • Bleeding: If the rail feels cold at the top, use the provided bleed plug to release trapped air.
