FAQs

What type of heating system is this radiator designed for?

The Kartell K-Rad Kollection radiator is primarily designed for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe systems, it's recommended to use diversion tees for optimal performance.

What is included in the installation kit?

The radiator comes complete with everything required for installation, including strong wall brackets, fixing screws, plugs, and a nickel-plated plug and air vent.

Can I connect this radiator to a 3/4" pipe system?

The radiator has standard 1/2" connections. However, 3/4" valve adaptors are available separately which can provide this connection option without reducing performance.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

The radiator is covered by the Kartell "No Quibble Guarantee" against any manufacturing faults for 10 years from the date of purchase.

How should I clean the radiator?

Clean the radiator using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the white enamel finish.

What does 'Type 21' mean for a radiator?

Type 21 indicates a double panel radiator with a convector fin between the panels, designed to provide a higher heat output compared to single-panel radiators.

Is installation difficult?

The radiator is designed for straightforward installation with strong, well-designed brackets and a complete fixing kit. However, basic plumbing knowledge is recommended, and professional installation is advised if you are unsure.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up evenly

For two-pipe systems, try bleeding the radiator to release trapped air. For single-pipe systems, ensure diversion tees are correctly installed.

Leaking from connections

Gently tighten the relevant connection. If the leak persists, the sealing may need to be redone. Ensure appropriate thread sealant or tape was used during installation.

Noise from radiator

Ensure the radiator is securely seated on its brackets. The plastic inserts are designed to minimize noise, but slight expansion/contraction noises can occur with temperature changes.

Difficulty installing brackets

Ensure you are using appropriate wall fixings for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick). The included fixings are general-purpose; specialized fixings may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient heat output due to Type 21 design.
  • Durable, multi-layer coating for longevity and aesthetic appeal.
  • Comprehensive installation kit included for easier setup.
  • Designed for quiet operation with anti-noise features.
  • Long 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Cons

  • Requires diversion tees for optimal performance in single-pipe heating systems.
  • Standard connection size may require adaptors for certain older plumbing.
  • While elegant, the classic design might not suit ultra-modern minimalist interiors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Kartell K-Rad Kollection radiator comes with all necessary components for installation, including robust wall brackets, fixing screws, and plugs. Ensure the wall is structurally sound to support the radiator's weight when filled with water. The radiator features 4 x 1/2" connections. The included nickel-plated plug and vent are essential for a watertight seal and air bleeding.

Compatibility: This radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe applications, it is advisable to incorporate diversion tees in the pipework to ensure the radiator receives adequate hot water flow and achieves its design performance.

Care: The radiator's white enamel powder coat finish is durable. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Periodically check connections for leaks and ensure the air vent is functioning correctly.
