FAQs

What type of heating system is this radiator designed for?

The Kartell K-RAD Kompact radiator is designed primarily for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe systems, it is advisable to use diversion tees to ensure optimal performance.

What is included with the radiator?

Each radiator comes complete with everything required for installation, including robust wall brackets, a fixing kit with plugs and screws, and a neat nickel-plated plug and vent.

What are the dimensions of the radiator?

Dimensions vary by specific model within the K-Rad Kollection. Please refer to the product's technical specifications or packaging for precise measurements.

Can this radiator be painted?

The standard finish is a white enamel (RAL9016). While it's possible to paint other radiator types, it's recommended to consult with Kartell or a professional painter regarding the specific type 22 radiator and its finish to ensure compatibility and maintain warranty.

What is the warranty on this radiator?

The radiator is covered by the Kartell 'No Quibble Guarantee' against any manufacturing faults for 10 years.

How do I clean the radiator?

Clean the radiator using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the high-quality white enamel finish.

What is the maximum operating temperature and pressure?

This product is suitable for operating pressures of up to 10 bar and a maximum operating temperature of 120°C.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up sufficiently

Check that the central heating system is on and operating correctly. For two-pipe systems, ensure water is flowing. For single-pipe systems, verify that diversion tees are correctly installed. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Check that the nickel-plated plug and vent are properly sealed. If leakage persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Radiator making noise

Gurgling sounds may indicate trapped air; bleed the radiator. Expansion and contraction noises are normal during heating and cooling cycles, but excessive noise could indicate poor seating on brackets; check plastic inserts and bracket fit.

Visible damage to enamel finish

Minor chips can sometimes be touched up with compatible paint, but significant damage may affect corrosion resistance. Contact Kartell customer service for advice or if the product is within its warranty period.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving and compact design ideal for various room sizes.
  • High heat output for efficient room heating.
  • Durable and attractive white enamel finish (RAL9016) that is easy to clean.
  • Includes all necessary fixings and brackets for straightforward installation.
  • Ten-year 'No Quibble Guarantee' against manufacturing faults.

Cons

  • Best suited for two-pipe heating systems; requires diversion tees for single-pipe applications to achieve optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the radiator carefully and inspect for any damage.
  2. Identify the required wall mounting points using the provided brackets. Ensure the wall can support the weight.
  3. Fix the brackets securely to the wall using the included screws and plugs.
  4. Mount the radiator onto the brackets. The plastic inserts help seat it precisely and minimize noise.
  5. Connect the radiator to your existing pipework using the 1/2" connections. Install the nickel-plated plug and vent.
  6. For single-pipe systems, ensure diversion tees are installed in the pipework as per manufacturer recommendations.

Compatibility:

  • The K-RAD Kollection is designed for two-pipe heating systems.
  • It can be used with single-pipe systems, but requires the installation of diversion tees for optimal performance.
  • Compatible with standard central heating systems operating up to 10 bar pressure and a maximum temperature of 120°C.

Care:

  • Clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the enamel finish.
  • Ensure vents are clear of debris to maintain efficient operation.
