T50 is the standard Delta T (temperature difference) used in the UK to measure radiator output, representing the difference between the radiator temperature and the room temperature.
While it can be used in many rooms, the raw lacquered finish is sensitive to moisture. We recommend ensuring the room is well-ventilated if installed in a bathroom.
Valves are generally sold separately. Please check your specific order details or consult with your plumber regarding compatibility.
This model is 284mm wide, making it a slim profile radiator.
It is not recommended to paint the radiator, as the raw lacquered finish is a specific design feature. Painting may also affect thermal efficiency.
The radiator likely has trapped air. Use a radiator key to bleed the air out until water begins to escape.
Check if the thermostatic radiator valve is open and ensure the central heating system is pressurized correctly.
The raw lacquered finish has a unique patina. For superficial marks, use a soft lint-free cloth; avoid heavy polishing which may strip the finish.
Installation should be carried out by a qualified heating engineer to ensure all pipework and valves are correctly fitted to your existing central heating system. When installing, verify that the wall structure can support the weight of the steel radiator. To maintain the raw lacquered metal finish, clean the unit regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the protective lacquer layer and affect the patina. Periodically check for airlocks in the system and bleed the radiator to maintain maximum heating efficiency.
