FAQs

What is included with the Reina Capo towel rail?

The product is supplied with wall brackets, an air vent plug, and blanking caps. Radiator valves and electric heating elements (if applicable) are sold separately.

Can I install this myself?

Basic installation involving mounting brackets and connecting pre-existing pipework might be manageable for DIY enthusiasts. However, for central heating, dual-fuel, or electric-only connections, professional plumbing and electrical expertise is highly recommended to ensure safety and proper function.

What is the heat output of this towel rail?

The towel rail has a heat output of 253 Watts (863 BTU) measured at Delta T50.

How do I clean the black finish?

Clean the towel rail using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

What type of radiator valves do I need?

You will need standard radiator valves compatible with your central heating system's pipework. The type (angled or straight) depends on the orientation of your plumbing connections. These are not included.

Is this towel rail suitable for a small bathroom?

With dimensions of 800mm x 400mm, it's suitable for medium-sized bathrooms. For very small bathrooms, consider if the size is appropriate for the available space.

What is the warranty period?

The Reina Capo Flat Heated Designer Ladder Towel Rail comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail is not heating up

For central heating: Check if the central heating system is on and if radiator valves are open. Bleed any air from the rail. For electric/dual-fuel: Ensure the electric element is properly installed and switched on at the power source.

Uneven heating

Bleed the towel rail to remove trapped air. Ensure the radiator valves are fully open and functioning correctly. Check that the pipework is not blocked.

Leaking from connections

Tighten the relevant fittings slightly. If the leak persists, check seals and consider replacing relevant components like compression fittings or valve seals. Ensure appropriate PTFE tape or sealant has been used on threaded connections.

Black finish is scratched or damaged

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Minor scratches may be difficult to repair without re-coating. Contact the manufacturer or a professional for potential refinishing options.

  • Durable steel construction ensures long-lasting use.
  • Compatible with multiple heating system types (central heating, dual-fuel, electric).

Cons

  • Radiator valves are not included and must be purchased separately for central heating installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This towel rail is designed to integrate seamlessly with:

  • Central Heating Systems: Requires connection to your existing boiler and pipework. Radiator valves (angled or straight, depending on pipe orientation) are necessary and must be purchased separately.
  • Dual-Fuel Systems: Can be adapted for use with an electric heating element alongside the central heating connection. An electric element and compatible valves are required.
  • Electric-Only Installation: Can be configured for electric-only use by installing a compatible electric heating element (sold separately). This allows operation independently of any central heating system.

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Secure the provided wall brackets to the wall at the desired height, ensuring they are level and appropriate fixings are used for your wall type.
  2. Connection: Attach the towel rail to the brackets. Connect the pipework for central heating systems or install the electric heating element as per the manufacturer's instructions for electric/dual-fuel setups.
  3. Bleeding: Once connected, use the supplied air vent plug to bleed any trapped air from the system to ensure optimal heat circulation.
  4. Testing: Check for leaks and ensure the rail heats up evenly.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the towel rail with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the black finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check wall fixings for security. For central heating systems, ensure the system pressure is maintained and bleed radiators if necessary.
