Straight Heated Towel Rail 600 x 940

Product detailed description

Straight heated towel rails are commonly installed in bathrooms, utility rooms and other wet areas where both heating and towel drying functions are required. These units integrate into central heating systems or can be used with electric heating coils for supplementary heating. Installers typically encounter these in residential properties, hotels and commercial buildings with wet room applications. The steel construction provides durability while maintaining a clean aesthetic suitable for modern bathroom designs. The 20 mm diameter heating pipes ensure efficient heat transfer while the 550 mm pipe spacing allows for practical towel hanging.

The technical parameters are essential for proper system sizing and selection. The 5.51 litre water volume and 1.3042 heat output exponent help calculate the required heating capacity for specific applications. The 1.0 MPa maximum working pressure and 1.5 MPa test pressure ensure safe operation in standard central heating systems. The 300 W electric coil option provides flexibility for properties without central heating.

Installation and connection

For wall mounting, use the included installation kit with four plastic brackets, mounting consoles and necessary fasteners. The 1/2 inch internal thread connections require standard central heating fittings. Ensure the mounting surface is level and secure to prevent stress on the pipe connections. When connecting to central heating systems, use PEX-AL-PEX 16 x 2 pipe as recommended. For electric coil installation, verify the 1/2 inch internal thread is accessible from both sides. Common installation errors include incorrect bracket positioning and failure to install the air vent.

Compatibility and accessories

This heated towel rail is compatible with both forced circulation and gravity-fed heating systems. For electric operation, order the 300 W electric coil separately. The recommended non-freezing mixture ensures proper operation in colder environments. When connecting to central heating, use the recommended PEX-AL-PEX 16 x 2 pipe. The installation kit is included but the electric coil and plug must be purchased separately. For optimal performance, ensure all connections are properly sealed and insulated.

Technical background for designers

The steel construction provides good heat retention while the 20 mm diameter pipes ensure efficient heat distribution. The 550 mm pipe spacing allows for practical towel hanging while maintaining structural integrity. The 1.3042 heat output exponent is used to calculate the actual heat output based on system conditions. The 110°C maximum operating temperature and 1.0 MPa pressure rating make this suitable for standard central heating systems. The design allows for both vertical and horizontal installation depending on space requirements.

Service and operation

Regular maintenance includes checking for leaks at all connections and ensuring the air vent is functioning properly. For electric operation, verify the coil connections are secure and the insulation is intact. The powder coating provides corrosion resistance but regular cleaning is recommended to maintain appearance. No specific service intervals are required but periodic visual inspections are advised to ensure safe operation.

Frequently asked questions

Can the electric coil be installed on both sides of the radiator?
Yes, the 1/2 inch internal thread allows for coil installation from either side of the unit.

Is this suitable for use with a non-freezing mixture?
Yes, the radiator is specifically designed to work with non-freezing mixtures as recommended by the manufacturer.

Can this be used in a gravity-fed heating system?
Yes, the pressure rating and construction make it suitable for both forced circulation and gravity-fed systems.

Is the electric coil included in the standard package?
No, the electric coil must be purchased separately. The installation kit with mounting hardware is included in the standard package.
