Is this radiator suitable for a wet room or bathroom?

What does 'Double Panel Double Convector (K2)' mean?

K2 refers to a radiator with two panels and two sets of convector fins between them. This design provides a higher heat output compared to single panel radiators of similar size.

Can I install this radiator myself?

Installation involves plumbing and connection to a central heating system. It is strongly recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified and experienced plumber to ensure safety and system integrity.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up at all

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning. Ensure the radiator valves are fully open. If the issue persists, bleed the radiator to remove air.

Radiator is cold at the top and hot at the bottom

This indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator using a radiator key until water begins to flow out, then close the valve.

Radiator is leaking

Immediately turn off the water supply to the radiator if possible, or to the entire heating system. Inspect all connections, including the valve fittings and bleed valve, for tightness. Contact a qualified plumber for repair.

Poor heat output

Ensure the radiator is not obstructed by furniture or heavy curtains. Check if the central heating system is operating at the correct temperature and that other radiators are also functioning adequately. Ensure the radiator was properly sized for the room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber. The radiator requires connection to a central heating system. Ensure all necessary pipework and fittings are in place before mounting.

  1. Mounting: Securely attach the included fixings to the wall at the appropriate height. The radiator is designed for horizontal installation.
  2. Connection: Connect the flow and return pipes to the radiator's valve connections.
  3. Bleeding: Once connected, bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air and ensure it fills with water completely.
  4. System Test: Test the system for leaks and ensure the radiator heats up evenly.

Compatibility:

  • This radiator is designed for use with standard UK central heating systems.
  • Important: Radiator valves are *not* included. You will need to purchase compatible radiator valves separately to control water flow and temperature.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the white finish, wipe the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the paintwork.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the radiator for any signs of leaks and bleed it if you notice cold spots indicating trapped air. Ensure the wall fixings remain secure.
