The Stelrad Softline Compact K3 Steel Panel Radiator 600 x 600mm has a heat output of 4889 Btu/hr.
While it can be plumbed into a standard system, it is specifically designed and optimized for low-temperature systems (e.g., heat pumps, condensing boilers). Performance might be reduced with very high water temperatures.
The 'K3' designation refers to the radiator's configuration: it has three panels and three convector fins, indicating a higher heat output for its size.
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the paint.
This radiator comes with a 15-year manufacturer's warranty.
Installation should be carried out by a qualified heating engineer to ensure correct and safe operation and to validate the warranty.
This model measures 600mm in height and 600mm in width.
Ensure the central heating system is operational and the thermostat is set correctly. Check if the radiator needs bleeding to release trapped air. Verify that the radiator valves are fully open and that the system is operating within the recommended low-temperature range.
Gurgling sounds often indicate trapped air; bleed the radiator. Banging or knocking could suggest water hammer in the system or loose fittings; consult a heating engineer.
Tighten connections carefully. If leaks persist, the valve or fitting may be faulty or improperly installed; contact a qualified heating engineer for repair or replacement.
Lightly sand the affected area and apply a suitable metal paint (e.g., radiator enamel) in RAL9016 white. For significant damage, professional refinishing may be required.
Setup:
Installation of the Stelrad Softline Compact K3 radiator should be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure proper connection to your central heating system and to validate the warranty. The radiator comes with pre-fitted brackets or requires specific mounting hardware (check product manual for details). Ensure all connections are sealed correctly to prevent leaks.
Compatibility:
This radiator is specifically designed for low-temperature heating systems. It is compatible with systems utilizing renewable energy sources such as heat pumps, solar thermal, and condensing boilers operating at lower flow temperatures (typically below 55°C). It can be plumbed into most standard central heating systems, but optimal performance is achieved within its intended low-temperature operating range.
