No, the radiator does not include valves. These must be purchased separately based on your specific piping setup.
This unit is designed for standard central heating systems. For dual-fuel applications, please consult a professional installer to verify compatibility with heating elements.
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads.
While it can be used in a bathroom, please ensure the room has adequate ventilation to protect the radiator finish from excessive humidity over long periods.
Please refer to the technical specifications provided in your specific batch or measure the centers based on your valve choice, as pipe centers for vertical radiators are typically fixed by the valve tail lengths.
You will need a drill, wall-appropriate drill bits, a spirit level, a wrench for the valves, and PTFE tape for sealing the connections.
Air is likely trapped in the system. Use the provided bleed plug to carefully release the trapped air until water begins to escape.
Check that the radiator valves are fully open. If the valves are open and it remains cold, ensure the central heating pump is operational or contact a heating engineer.
Ensure the 1/2 inch BSP connections are properly tightened and that PTFE tape was used during the initial valve installation.
Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure the system is properly pressure-tested. Before mounting, ensure the wall surface can support the weight of the water-filled unit. Use the provided wall plugs and fixings; if mounting on a stud wall, ensure you locate the timber framework behind the drywall for secure fixing.
Compatibility: This radiator uses a 1/2 inch BSP connection, which is the industry standard for most UK central heating valves. You will need to purchase manual or thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) separately to control the flow.
Care: To preserve the integrity of the Caribbean Sea finish, wipe the surface down periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical cleaners, or bleach, as these can dull the pastel turquoise coating over time. Ensure the system is bled annually using the provided bleed plug to remove trapped air and maintain maximum heating efficiency.
