This specific Alpha 2 Column model provides a heat output of 2634 BTUs at T50.
Due to the weight of the radiator, it is highly recommended to mount it on a solid wall or use reinforced fixings if mounting on a stud wall.
While durable, this radiator is designed for standard living spaces. Avoid installation in high-humidity areas like bathrooms unless properly ventilated.
Valves are typically sold separately, allowing you to choose a style that matches your existing pipework.
A light dusting once a week and a wipe with a damp cloth every few months is sufficient to keep it in prime condition.
T50 is the standard temperature difference used in the UK to measure heat output, representing the difference between the radiator temperature and the room temperature.
The unit likely contains trapped air. Use a radiator key to carefully bleed the system until water appears.
Check your thermostatic valve setting and ensure the system pressure is within the manufacturer's recommended range.
Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and warm, soapy water; avoid solvent-based cleaners.
Proper installation is paramount for the Alpha 2 Column radiator. Given its weight, ensure the mounting surface—whether masonry or stud wall—is reinforced or equipped with appropriate heavy-duty fixings. It is compatible with standard central heating systems. For routine maintenance, wipe the unit with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could compromise the integrity of the grey finish. Always bleed the radiator at the start of the heating season to ensure maximum efficiency.
