FAQs

Is this radiator compatible with electric-only systems?

No, this unit is designed specifically for standard central heating systems using water-based circulation.

What does T50 mean regarding BTU output?

T50 is the industry-standard temperature difference calculation used to measure radiator heat output in relation to your home's central heating flow temperature.

Does this radiator come with mounting brackets?

Yes, standard wall mounting brackets are typically included with your purchase, but always verify the box contents upon delivery.

Can I paint this radiator a different color?

It is not recommended, as painting can affect the thermal efficiency of the radiator and may void the manufacturer warranty.

Is it suitable for installation in a bathroom?

Yes, it can be used in bathrooms provided the room is well-ventilated, though it is not a dedicated towel-warming radiator.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

There is likely trapped air in the system. Use a radiator key to carefully bleed the radiator until water flows steadily.

Radiator stays cold despite heating being on

Check if the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is turned to the correct setting or if the central heating pump is functioning correctly.

Surface finish appears discolored

Gently clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive scouring pads which can scratch the coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Alpha 2 Column Radiator is designed for standard central heating installation. It is recommended that you hire a professional plumber to ensure all pipe connections are sealed correctly and the system is balanced after installation.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the columns regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the white enamel finish.
  • Bleeding: If you notice cold spots at the top of the radiator, use a radiator key to bleed out trapped air to restore full heating capacity.
  • Checks: Inspect the valves annually for signs of moisture or corrosion to prevent leaks early.
