FAQs

What type of valves do I need for this radiator?

Radiator valves are not included. You will need to purchase suitable radiator valves that match your pipework connections (e.g., compression or angled valves) and the radiator's inlet sizes. It's recommended to use valves with a T30 or T50 rating that complements the radiator's output.

What is the heat output of this radiator?

The radiator has a heat output of 6232 BTUs / 1826 Watts at T50 (Delta T 50°C) and 3120 BTUs / 914 Watts at T30 (Delta T 30°C).

Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?

While the radiator provides excellent heat, its suitability for a bathroom depends on the specific bathroom's heating requirements and the IP rating needed for electrical safety around water. This model is generally best suited for living areas, hallways, or bedrooms.

What does 'cast iron style' mean?

It means the radiator is designed to emulate the traditional appearance of cast iron radiators, featuring column designs and aesthetic details, but it is constructed from modern mild steel for lighter weight and potentially better heat responsiveness.

How do I calculate the required BTU for my room?

BTU calculations depend on room size, insulation, window type, and desired temperature. Online BTU calculators or a heating professional can help you determine the appropriate output needed for your space.

What is included with the radiator?

The radiator includes blanking plugs, a bleed plug, and wall fixing brackets. Radiator valves are sold separately.

Can I paint this radiator?

The radiator comes with a finished white coating. While it may be possible to paint it with suitable radiator paint, it is generally recommended to use it as is to maintain the warranty and finish quality.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator using the bleed valve to release trapped air. If the issue persists, check if the radiator valves are fully open or if there's a blockage in the system.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all connections, including radiator valves and fittings, are tightened securely. Check seals and use appropriate PTFE tape or sealant if necessary. If leaks persist, consult a professional plumber.

Low heat output

Check the radiator's BTU output against the room size. Ensure radiator valves are fully open and the central heating system is functioning correctly. Clean any dust or debris from the radiator fins.

Unusual noises (e.g., banging, whistling)

These can often be caused by trapped air, requiring bleeding. If noises continue, it might indicate water flow issues or system pressure problems that require professional inspection.

Care:

  • Clean the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
