Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Check if the central heating system is on. For dual fuel, ensure the electric element (if installed) is powered. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Ensure valves are fully open.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check pipework for damage. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Uneven heating

Bleed the radiator to remove air pockets. Check if the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no blockages in the system.

Noise from the radiator

Gurgling sounds usually indicate trapped air; bleed the radiator. Hissing sounds might mean water is flowing too fast; adjust the lockshield valve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Riace Vertical Flat Towel Radiator requires connection to a central heating system. Ensure all necessary plumbing and potentially an electric heating element (sold separately) are prepared. The radiator comes with a fixing kit including wall plugs and fixings. For dual fuel setups, a T-piece and compatible valves are also required and must be purchased separately. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct and safe fitting.

Compatibility:

Central Heating Systems: Compatible with standard hot water-based central heating systems.
Dual Fuel: Can be converted to a dual fuel system with the addition of an electric heating element and appropriate T-piece, allowing for independent electric heating.
Pipework: Requires a standard ½ inch BSP connection. Ensure pipework centers align with the radiator's specifications (550mm pipe centre to pipe centre).

Care:

Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder-coated finish.
Maintenance: Periodically check for leaks and ensure the bleed valve is accessible for air release if needed. The durable finish is resistant to most household chemicals, allowing for repeated cleaning.
