FAQs

What is the BTU output of this radiator?

The iBathUK Apex Vertical Double Panel Slim Flat Radiator has a BTU output of 4367 and a wattage of 1281W (at 50 degrees Celsius).

Does this radiator come with valves?

No, radiator valves (angled or straight) are not included and must be purchased separately. All necessary mounting hardware, including brackets and fixings, are provided.

What are the exact dimensions of the radiator?

The radiator measures 1600mm in height, 380mm in width, has a depth of 6.9cm, and a projection from the wall of approximately 8.5cm.

Is this radiator suitable for all room types?

It is ideal for medium-sized rooms. For very large or poorly insulated spaces, a professional heat loss calculation is recommended to ensure adequate heating.

How do I clean the matt white finish?

Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

What type of heating system does it connect to?

This radiator is designed for standard water-based central heating systems.

Is the installation difficult?

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the central heating system is on and functioning. Check if radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Verify water pressure in the system.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the heating system. Gently tighten the valve connections. If leaking persists, drain the system, reapply PTFE tape or sealant to the valve threads, and retighten. Seek professional help if necessary.

Uneven heating (cold spots)

Bleed the radiator to remove air. If the bottom remains cold, the system may need balancing. If the top remains cold, there might be significant air buildup. Check for blockages in the pipes or valves.

Radiator making noises (banging, gurgling)

Gurgling typically indicates trapped air; bleed the radiator. Banging noises can sometimes be due to expansion/contraction or pipework issues; check if pipes are rubbing against walls or structures.
