FAQs

What is the BTU output of this radiator?

The Reggio Midnight Black Horizontal Double Column Radiator has a BTU output of 6598.

What are the dimensions of this radiator?

The dimensions are 800mm in height and 1460mm in width.

Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?

While its finish is stylish, it's primarily designed for living areas. For bathrooms, consider radiators with higher IP ratings for moisture resistance.

Do I need to bleed this radiator?

Yes, like most central heating radiators, it may need bleeding periodically to ensure optimal performance and even heat distribution.

What type of valves should I use with this radiator?

Standard thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) are recommended for controlling the temperature of individual radiators.

Can I paint this radiator?

While the black finish is durable, painting over it could affect heat output and void the warranty. It's best to maintain the original finish.

How much weight can the wall support need to handle?

The radiator's weight will depend on its material (cast iron style) and water content, but it is substantial. Professional installation and secure wall fixings are essential.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Check that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is functioning correctly and not set too low. Ensure balancing of the heating system is correct.

Leaking from connection points

Tighten the relevant fittings carefully. If the leak persists, the thread sealant may need to be replaced. Professional plumber assistance is advised.

Low heat output

Check that the central heating system is fully operational. Ensure the TRV is not closed. Bleed the radiator. Verify the boiler is adequately sized for the room and radiator.

Radiator making unusual noises

Common causes include trapped air (bleed the radiator) or water flow issues. Check system pressure and ensure valves are fully open.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat output for large rooms.
  • Stylish, modern design with a classic twist.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • The black finish is versatile and on-trend.
  • Efficiently warms spaces due to its double-column design.

Cons

  • Requires robust wall support due to its size and weight.
  • Installation may require professional plumbing expertise.
  • Takes up significant wall space.
  • The black finish can show dust more readily than lighter colours.
  • Higher initial cost compared to basic panel radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This radiator requires a standard central heating system connection. Ensure your system is compatible with the radiator's dimensions and required water volume. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended due to the radiator's size and weight. Ensure secure mounting brackets are used and fixed firmly into wall studs or using appropriate heavy-duty wall fixings.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard wet central heating systems (combi boilers, system boilers, regular boilers). It requires appropriate thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) for temperature control, which are typically purchased separately. Ensure your boiler has sufficient capacity to heat this radiator effectively.

Care: Clean the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent can be used, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the radiator is cool before cleaning. Periodically check fixings to ensure they remain secure.
