FAQs
Can this radiator be used in an electric-only setup?
Yes, but you will need to purchase an optional compatible electric heating element to convert the radiator.
Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, it is designed as a towel radiator and is ideal for bathroom environments due to its moisture and corrosion resistance.
What is the benefit of aluminium over steel?
Aluminium conducts heat much more efficiently than steel, allowing the radiator to heat up 3-4 times faster.
Are valves included with the radiator?
No, valves are typically sold separately to allow you to choose the style that best fits your bathroom decor.
How do I clean the silver finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to prevent scratching the finish.
Can I install this on a stud wall?
The included brackets are for solid walls. For stud walls, ensure you use appropriate heavy-duty plasterboard fixings or mount to timber noggins.
Troubleshooting
The radiator is cold at the top.
The system likely has trapped air. Use the included air vent to bleed the radiator until water flows out steadily.
The radiator takes too long to heat up.
Check your central heating pump settings or ensure that the thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) are fully open.
There is a minor leak at the valve connection.
Ensure that PTFE tape is applied correctly to the valve threads and that the connections are tightened securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Eton radiator is straightforward due to its lightweight aluminium construction. The included wall bracket kit is designed for solid walls, but ensure you have the correct fixings if mounting on stud walls. The radiator is compatible with standard central heating valves; ensure you select valves that match the silver finish for a cohesive look. For electric conversion, ensure the chosen heating element is compatible with the radiator's wattage requirements. To maintain the finish, wipe the radiator with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool, which could damage the silver coating. Regularly check the air vent for any trapped air that might prevent the unit from heating evenly.
