Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic plumbing skills and an electrical connection near the radiator. The kit is designed for 1/2 inch BSP connections, which is the industry standard for most towel rails in the UK.
- Ensure the radiator is drained before removing existing valves.
- Install the provided T-pieces to facilitate both central heating flow and the heating element.
- Fit the manual angled valves to control the flow.
- Connect the heating element to a fused spur protected by a RCD.
For maintenance, wipe the silver finish with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the polished aesthetic.
