Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up fully

Check if air is trapped in the radiator and bleed it using the valve. Ensure the thermostat is set correctly and the central heating system is functioning. Verify compatibility with your system's temperature output.

Cold spots on the radiator surface

This often indicates sludge buildup or trapped air. Bleed the radiator. If the problem persists, a system flush may be required.

Leaking connections

Tighten the relevant fittings carefully. If leaking persists, the joint may need to be redone by a qualified plumber.

Radiator making noise (banging/gurgling)

Usually caused by trapped air or insufficient water pressure in the system. Bleed the radiator and check the system pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Ensure the wall is structurally sound to support the radiator's weight when filled with water. Use appropriate wall fixings for your wall type (plasterboard, brick, etc.).
  2. Plumbing: Connect the radiator to your existing or new heating system using standard 15mm or 22mm pipework, depending on your system design. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
  3. Venting: Locate the bleed valve at the top of the radiator and use a radiator key to vent any trapped air after filling the system.

Compatibility:

  • This radiator is specifically designed for compatibility with low-temperature heating systems. It performs optimally with systems operating below 55°C, such as those using heat pumps or condensing boilers.
  • Ensure your central heating system's pump and pipework can adequately circulate water at the required flow rates for optimal performance.

Care:

  • Clean the radiator surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the paint finish.
  • Periodically check bleed valves and ensure they are securely closed after bleeding.
  • If the radiator is not in use during warmer months, ensure the system is properly maintained to prevent corrosion.
