towel radiator

I’ve removed an old 600 x 400 single rad from a small ensuite (3 m²) and hoping to replace it with a towel rail and wonder whether the new towel rail i’ve purchased is going to be powerful enough. Original rad spec’d at 1563 btus, but never had it turned up anywhere near maximum, but the towels...

In the middle of a bathroom refurb and need to replace existing radiator with a towel rail, but I am uncertain on the best approach to take. My first idea was to use the original (channelled) pipework along with (additional) chrome pipe and fittings, to compensate for the new position of the...

Over the weekend we had a plumber come round and take off the small radiator from our ensuite and fit a towel radiator. I'm abit unsure as he never put the heating on to test etc so when he went we switched the heating on to make sure all was ok. We've noticed that the small radiator...

Hi would it be possible to change our small radiator for a towel radiator. We've always thought its too close to the toilet especially to hang towel above. Would this be something I could do or would I need a plumber? Ideally we'd like to move it more central but behind the radiator we...

Hi All, I've just bought a 300w heating element for my towel radiator. In terms of wiring, was thinking of taking a spur using a 1.5m2 cable from my double socket to an FCU, the flex of the heating element to the FCU. Does that sound right and what amp should the FCU be? Thanks in advance...

Hey, So I have this kind of Tower Rad installed: https://victoriaplum.com/product/the-heating-co-santa-fe-traditional-radiator-952-x-659 As per the pictures attached it doesn't use the standard 1/2” BSP valve size, what is it using? I am guessing it is a 1/4? Cheers

Hello all, I want to remotely control/automate a duel-fuel towel rail/rad and I don't like those controlls you find attached to the end of some elements like the pic attached (too much getting down on your hands and knees, after you've gone to get your glasses kind of thing). My assumption of...

I’m going to be replacing 2 towel radiators like for like and have an ideal Icos HE12 condensing boiler with a megaflo cylinder and tank in loft. I’m aware of what I need to do to change radiators but don’t know how to replace the water that will be lost from the 2 old towel radiators as not...

Hi, I’m planning on replacing a towel radiator (like for like size) and had a few questions I’m hoping someone could help me out with. I plan to isolate the rad at the valves at the base of the rad, drain it into a bucket (using the bleed valve to release all the water), install and connect...

Hi, I've just had a bathroom towel heater replaced in my bathroom. The old one had two pipes going into it (as does the new one), one of the had a numbered thermostat on it so I could change the temperature on it. I should mention that the towel radiator runs on the hot water as opposed to...

Got plumber who set up towel rail pipe at 498C/C. How wide need to be my towel rail? Thanks

Hi all I’m hoping somebody can help? We have a towel radiator in the bathroom (pictured) which is leaking from the top right valve. Obviously with current COVID restrictions we thought we would have a go ourselves. Can you please advise the steps we would need to take ie what do we need to turn...

Hi I wondered if anyone cld advise me please. I have an existing double panel radiator that I wish to have replaced by a towel radiator the problem I have is the the nearest towel radiator I can buy is 560mm from centre to centre of where the plumbing pipes are. And my existing radiator is...

Hi, My towel radiator valve is leaking from the centre where it screws in rather than from the pipe or radiator joints. I've seen plenty of articles/videos on how to use a "string" of PTFE to pack a gland on a standard radiator valve but I can't find anything on these now common towel radiator...

I need to conceal some towel radiator pipework, pipes are microbore (10mm) to speedfit 90 degree compression fittings. The wall has been dry lined so its approx 12.5mm plaster board, before we get to plaster/concrete etc. Currently, the microbores going into the rad don't have sufficient...

Anyone got any idea what's going on here? Trying to remove a single towel rail from the bathroom. It has pipes going through the wall from a cupboard in the hallway. Thinking it must have been connected to an old hot water tank? The pipe has a stopper at one end and then goes to a valve...

I'm looking to install a chrome towel rad (central heating) in a small en-suite. When I look at the reviews for Flomasta and Kudox products on the Screwfix and B&Q websites, I see comments like "leaks or rusts after a year". Please recommend a decent quality brand that I won't have to replace!

Hello, In the process of installing a dual fuel kit to a towel radiator and can't for the life of me get the t-piece to line up in a sensible direction and be anywhere near tight enough to be water tight. The supplier of the kit claim that this is the first time they've heard of this problem...
