FAQs

What type of heating system is this radiator best suited for?

The Kartell K-RAD Kompact Type 11 radiator is primarily designed for two-pipe heating systems. It can be used in single-pipe systems, but diversion tees are recommended for optimal performance and to prevent system imbalances.

What is included with the radiator?

The radiator is supplied with all necessary installation components, including wall brackets, a fixing kit, and a neat nickel-plated plug and vent.

How do I clean the radiator?

Clean the radiator using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the white enamel finish.

What is the warranty period?

The radiator is covered by a 10-year Kartell "No Quibble Guarantee" against manufacturing faults.

Can I change the connection size?

Yes, the radiator comes with 4 x 1/2" connections as standard. Valve adaptors are available separately to provide a 3/4" connector option without reducing performance.

What is a Type 11 radiator?

A Type 11 radiator consists of a single panel with a convector behind it. This design offers a good balance of heat output and a slim profile, making it space-efficient.

How does the radiator reduce noise?

The installation includes plastic inserts that precisely seat the radiator on the bracket. This minimizes movement and contact, reducing noise caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Check if the central heating system is operational. Ensure the radiator valves are open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. For single-pipe systems, verify that diversion tees are installed correctly.

Leaking connections

Turn off the heating system and allow the radiator to cool. Gently tighten the leaking connection. If the leak persists, the sealing tape or washer may need replacement. Contact a professional if unsure.

Noise from the radiator

Some expansion and contraction noise is normal, especially when the heating first comes on or turns off. Ensure the plastic inserts in the brackets are properly seated. If noise is excessive, check that the radiator is securely mounted and not touching adjacent surfaces.

Low heat output

Ensure radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator. Check for blockages in the system. If used in a single-pipe system without diversion tees, this could significantly reduce output and requires correction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the installation location is suitable and complies with heating system regulations. All necessary wall brackets and a fixing kit are included. The brackets are designed for secure mounting. Follow the included instructions for connecting the radiator to your existing pipework using the 4 x 1/2" connections. Professional installation is recommended.

Compatibility: This radiator is suitable for two-pipe heating installations. For single-pipe systems, diversion tees are recommended to ensure optimal performance and system balance. Valve adaptors are available if 1/2" connections are not standard for your system.

Care: The radiator features a durable white enamel powder coat finish. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage.
