Product Information

Full details

The LavaTap Towel Rail Transfer Fluid Concentrate is designed for users with sealed electric towel rails that require an internal heat transfer medium. Its key benefit is promoting even heat distribution across the entire towel rail for consistent warmth. A key caveat is that it is a concentrate and *must* be diluted with water according to manufacturer instructions before use. This fluid is based on mono propylene glycol and helps maintain stable internal fluid behavior within compatible systems.

FAQs

What is this product used for?

This product is a concentrate used as a heat transfer fluid inside sealed electric towel rails to help distribute heat evenly.

Do I use it straight from the bottle?

No, this is a concentrate and must be diluted with water before or during the filling of the towel rail, following the rail manufacturer's instructions.

Can I use this in my central heating system?

No, this fluid is specifically designed for sealed electric towel rail systems only and is not suitable for central heating or open systems.

What happens if I don't dilute it?

Using the concentrate undiluted could lead to improper heat transfer, potential damage to the system, or it may not perform as intended. Always dilute as per instructions.

How much water do I mix with it?

The exact dilution ratio depends on the specific towel rail model and its manufacturer's recommendations. Always refer to your towel rail's installation or user manual.

What type of fluid is it based on?

It is based on mono propylene glycol, which is commonly used in heating and cooling applications for stable thermal transfer.

Is it safe for all metal towel rails?

The fluid is intended for use with common metal materials found in electric towel rail construction. If you have specific concerns about your rail's material, consult the rail manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating evenly

Ensure the fluid was diluted correctly according to manufacturer instructions. An incorrect dilution ratio can affect heat transfer. If the issue persists, the system may require draining and refilling with the correct mixture.

Fluid appears to be leaking

Immediately isolate the towel rail from power and contact the towel rail manufacturer or a qualified installer. Leaks in a sealed system can compromise its integrity.

System pressure fluctuating unusually

Check the towel rail manufacturer's guidelines for normal operating pressure. If the pressure is outside the specified range, it may indicate an issue with the fluid level or system integrity, requiring professional assessment.

  • Ensures consistent and even heat distribution.
  • Formulated with a stable, common heat transfer compound (mono propylene glycol).
  • Concentrate allows for tailored dilution based on specific rail requirements.
  • Practical 1-litre volume for most domestic applications.

Cons

  • Requires dilution before use; not a ready-to-use fluid.
  • Only suitable for sealed electric towel rail systems.
  • Incorrect dilution can lead to poor performance or system issues.
  • Requires careful adherence to manufacturer's instructions for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is a concentrate and *must* be diluted with water before or during the filling of a sealed electric towel rail. Always consult your specific towel rail's manufacturer guidance for the correct dilution ratio. The towel rail system should be isolated from power, cooled, and safely prepared before attempting to fill or top up.

Compatibility: LavaTap Towel Rail Transfer Fluid Concentrate is designed *only* for use in sealed electric towel rail systems. It is not suitable for open systems, central heating circuits, or any other application. It is intended for use with metals commonly found in electric towel rail construction.

Care: As a sealed system fluid, ongoing care primarily involves ensuring the system remains sealed. If topping up is required, always use the correct dilution. Store the concentrate in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
