FAQs

Does this radiator include valves?

Valves are typically sold separately. Check with your supplier to ensure you purchase compatible valves for your pipework.

Can I install this on a stud wall?

It is recommended to install on solid masonry walls. If installing on a stud wall, ensure adequate reinforcement is added behind the plasterboard to support the weight.

How do I calculate the heat output needed?

You should use a BTU calculator based on your room's dimensions, window types, and insulation levels to ensure this model provides enough heat.

What is the benefit of a double panel?

A double panel has two layers of waterways, which effectively doubles the heating surface area, resulting in a higher BTU output for the same footprint.

Is the black finish prone to peeling?

The finish is applied during the manufacturing process for durability. With proper care and by avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, it will remain intact for years.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

Air is trapped in the system; use a radiator bleed key to release the air until water begins to trickle out.

The radiator is not getting warm at all

Check if the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is open and ensure that the system pump is circulating water correctly.

Surface finish appears dulled

Avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaning agents. Use only a soft microfiber cloth with warm water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maximizes vertical space in smaller rooms
  • Stylish elliptical tube design provides a designer look
  • Double panel configuration ensures superior heat output

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure compatibility with your existing central heating system. Ensure that the wall is load-bearing, as vertical double panel radiators are heavy once filled with water.

  1. Check Pipe Centers: Verify the measurements of your current pipework to ensure the valves align correctly with the radiator inlets.
  2. Bleeding: Regularly bleed the radiator using a bleed key to remove air pockets that may hinder performance.
  3. Cleaning: Wipe down the elliptical tubes with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these may scratch the black finish.
  4. Pressure: Ensure your central heating system is maintained at the manufacturer-recommended pressure levels.
