The Reggio Midnight Black Horizontal Double Column Radiator has a BTU output of 6598.
The dimensions are 800mm in height and 1460mm in width.
While its finish is stylish, it's primarily designed for living areas. For bathrooms, consider radiators with higher IP ratings for moisture resistance.
Yes, like most central heating radiators, it may need bleeding periodically to ensure optimal performance and even heat distribution.
Standard thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) are recommended for controlling the temperature of individual radiators.
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.
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.
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.
Tighten the relevant fittings carefully. If the leak persists, the thread sealant may need to be replaced. Professional plumber assistance is advised.
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.
Common causes include trapped air (bleed the radiator) or water flow issues. Check system pressure and ensure valves are fully open.
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.
