No, valves are typically sold separately. You will need to purchase matching radiator valves that complement the Bronze finish.
Due to its weight and vertical design, it is recommended to install this radiator on a solid masonry wall or ensure adequate reinforcements are in place for stud walls.
The Bronze finish is durable, but it should be handled with care during installation to prevent scratching.
This radiator is constructed from high-quality, durable steel to mimic the look of cast-iron while remaining lighter and more efficient.
While it can function in a bathroom, the Bronze finish should be kept dry to prevent potential long-term water spotting or corrosion.
Air is trapped in the system; use a radiator key to bleed the air valve at the top of the unit.
Check the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) to ensure it is set correctly or consult a plumber to balance the heating system.
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to buff out superficial marks; avoid abrasive pads.
Installation should always be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure all connections are watertight and the unit is securely fixed to the wall. Before purchase, confirm that your existing pipe centers match the requirements of the radiator. Regarding compatibility, this unit is intended for standard closed-loop central heating systems; verify your system pressure before final installation. To maintain the Bronze finish, wipe the radiator occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may scratch or tarnish the metallic coating. During seasonal transitions, bleed the radiator to remove trapped air, which ensures maximum heating efficiency.
