Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Stelrad Compact radiator is supplied fully assembled. Installation involves connecting it to your existing central heating system. This typically includes mounting the radiator to the wall using appropriate brackets (often supplied) and connecting the flow and return pipes from your boiler system. Important: Radiator valves are not included and must be purchased separately; ensure you select valves compatible with your pipework and desired control method.
Compatibility: This radiator is designed for use with standard wet central heating systems. It has a maximum working pressure of 145 psi (10 bar). Ensure your system's pressure does not exceed this limit. It is compatible with most common central heating system components, provided correct installation procedures are followed.
Care: To maintain its appearance and performance, clean the radiator periodically. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint finish. For internal cleaning, professional flushing of the heating system is recommended as part of regular maintenance to prevent sediment buildup, which can affect efficiency.
