FAQs

What does T50 mean regarding BTU output?

T50 is the standard temperature difference between the water in the radiator and the air in the room, used to calculate the official heat output.

Is this radiator compatible with standard central heating systems?

Yes, it is designed to work with standard indirect wet central heating systems.

Can I install this on a stud wall?

Due to the weight of a 2-column radiator, it should ideally be mounted on a solid brick wall or reinforced stud work.

Does this unit come with valves included?

Valves are typically sold separately, as the type of valve required depends on your specific pipework configuration.

How often should I bleed this radiator?

You only need to bleed it if you notice cold spots at the top or hear gurgling sounds, indicating air is present.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

The unit likely has trapped air. Use a radiator key to carefully open the bleed valve until water begins to escape, then tighten it.

Radiator is cold at the bottom

This may indicate a buildup of sludge within the system. You may need to power flush the heating system or consult a professional plumber.

Surface finish appearing dull

Clean the surface with a non-abrasive microfiber cloth and a mild soapy water solution, drying immediately to prevent water spots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High heat output for larger spaces
  • Stylish grey finish complements various interior styles
  • Ideal size for positioning under windows
  • Sturdy two-column construction for longevity

Cons

  • Heavy unit requiring secure wall mounting
  • Limited colour options within this specific model
  • Horizontal orientation may not fit all narrow wall spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure the radiator is correctly balanced within your central heating system. Ensure you have the necessary pipe centers for a 988mm wide unit before purchasing. To maintain the finish, clean only with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using abrasive chemicals or acidic cleaners that could damage the grey coating. Periodically check the valves for any signs of leaks and ensure the radiator is bled regularly to remove trapped air, which can prevent the unit from heating evenly.
