Installation
The LuxeBath Sahara radiator is designed for straightforward wall mounting and connection to a central heating system. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Preparation: Ensure the wall is suitable to bear the weight of the radiator when filled with water. Mark the desired mounting points on the wall, considering the radiator's dimensions and connection points. Refer to the dimension diagram below.
- Mounting Brackets: Drill holes at the marked points and insert the wall plugs. Secure the wall brackets using the provided screws. Ensure the brackets are level and securely fastened.
- Radiator Placement: Carefully lift the radiator and position it onto the installed wall brackets. Secure the radiator to the brackets using the fixing screws and washers.
- Connecting to Central Heating: Connect the radiator to your central heating system using the middle connection points. Ensure all connections are tight and sealed to prevent leaks. Install the 1/2 inch vent valve and blanking plug into the designated openings.
- Filling and Bleeding: Once connected, slowly refill your central heating system. Open the vent valve on the radiator to release any trapped air until water begins to emerge. Close the vent valve. Check all connections for leaks.

Operating Instructions
The LuxeBath Sahara radiator is designed for use with hot water central heating systems. It provides efficient heat distribution for bathrooms, living rooms, or wardrobes.
- Ensure your central heating system is operational and set to the desired temperature.
- The radiator will heat up as hot water circulates through it.
- Periodically check the radiator for optimal performance. If the top of the radiator remains cold while the bottom is hot, it may indicate trapped air. Bleed the radiator as described in the installation section.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your LuxeBath Sahara radiator:
- Cleaning: Clean the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the radiator for any signs of corrosion, leaks, or damage. Address any issues promptly.
- Bleeding: If you notice cold spots on the radiator or reduced heating efficiency, bleed the radiator to remove trapped air.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your radiator, consider the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator is cold at the top, warm at the bottom. | Trapped air in the system. | Bleed the radiator using the vent valve until water flows steadily. |
| Radiator is completely cold. | Central heating system off, valve closed, or system pressure low. | Check central heating system operation, ensure radiator valves are open, and check system pressure. |
| Water leaking from connections. | Loose connections or faulty seals. | Tighten connections. If leaks persist, replace seals or consult a professional. |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact a qualified heating engineer.
