FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a wrench for tightening the compression fitting and possibly a pipe cutter if you need to adjust the pipe length. Pipe sealant tape may also be useful.

Can I use this with any type of radiator?

This drain-off tail piece is designed for use with radiators that have standard 15mm pipework connections.

How do I know if the compression fitting is tight enough?

Tighten the compression fitting until it is snug and secure, but avoid over-tightening. Overtightening can damage the fitting. Check for leaks after refilling the system.

What is the maximum working pressure?

The maximum working pressure is 10 bar.

Is this suitable for use with underfloor heating?

No, this product is designed specifically for radiators and towel rails.

How do I drain the radiator using the drain-off tap?

Attach a hose to the drain-off tap and open the tap. Direct the other end of the hose to a suitable container or drain to collect the water.

Troubleshooting

The drain-off tap is leaking.

Check the compression fitting and ensure it is properly tightened. If the leak persists, check for damage to the tail piece and replace if necessary.

Difficulty connecting to existing pipework.

Ensure the pipework is clean and free of debris. Use pipe sealant tape or paste if needed to ensure a good seal.
