Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning. Ensure radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air.

Uneven heating (hot spots or cold spots)

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Check if the system pressure is adequate. Balance the radiator system if other radiators are performing differently.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all connections (valves, pipework) are securely tightened. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber for repair or resealing.

Noise from the radiator

Listen for the source of the noise. Gurgling often indicates air in the system and requires bleeding. Hissing might indicate a valve issue or high water pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure correct plumbing connections and safe operation. The radiator includes necessary fixings for mounting. Ensure the chosen location allows for adequate circulation of heated air.

Compatibility: This radiator is designed for standard home central heating systems. Radiator valves are not included and must be purchased separately; ensure compatibility with your chosen valve type (e.g., thermostatic or manual).
