What warranty is provided?

Do I need to buy valves separately?

Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating when central heating is on

Check that your central heating system is operational and that water is circulating correctly. Ensure radiator valves are open and that the towel rail is not isolated from the system.

Electric element not working

Verify that the heating element is securely screwed into its port and that the electrical supply is active. Check your home's fuse box for any tripped breakers. If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.

Leaking connections

Turn off the water supply to the towel rail. Carefully tighten any loose fittings at the valve or T-piece connections. If leaking continues, the seal may need replacing. Professional assistance may be required.

Reduced heat output

If connected to central heating, bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Ensure there are no blockages in the pipes or the towel rail itself.

This typically involves inserting the element into the designated port on the towel rail and connecting it to a suitable power source. *Professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended for the electric element connection.*

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard domestic central heating systems.
  • Requires a suitable electrical connection point for the heating element.

  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
  • Periodically check all plumbing connections for any signs of leakage.
