Assembly instructions for Designer Radiators

Please read the instructions carefully before starting assembly.

The radiator must be installed by a qualified plumber or another competent specialist.
Note that the dimensions and panel-/pipe layout of the radiator may differ from the respective illustrations.
Do not dispose of the packaging until you have secured small parts such as wall brackets and mounting accessories.
We recommend wearing suitable protective clothing such as gloves and reinforced work shoes for assembly.

Required tools

(not included in the delivery!)

Phillips screwdriver, Flat screwdriver, Tape measure, Wrench, Drill bit, Drilling machine.

Product Information

1. Determination and scope of use of the products

The radiators are designed to be used in a closed central heating system.

2. Maximum operating pressure

Please note the maximum operating pressure specified in the assembly dimension table. Operation above this level can damage the radiator and void any warranty.

3. Scope of delivery of a standard packaging:

1 pc. radiator
1 pc. Air vent (A)
1 pc. Blanking plug (B)
4 pcs. Masonry wall plug (C)
4 pcs. Screws (D)
4 pcs. Washers (E)
4 pcs. Wall bracket

Diagram showing items A-E: A is an air vent, B is a blanking plug, C is a masonry wall plug, D is a screw, and E is a washer.

4. General assembly instructions

Check the contents of the packaging for completeness.
Make sure that you have the appropriate connection fitting.
Before drilling the holes, ensure there are no hidden water, electric, or gas lines behind the wall.
The distance between the floor and the bottom of the radiator should be at least 150 mm to allow for efficient heating and ventilation.
Prepare the necessary tools and ensure a clean, dry environment for assembly.
Use the correct type of wall fixing. The supplied wall plugs are only suitable for solid masonry. Obtain appropriate fixings for other wall types.
The specified dimensions are for the main mounting holes on the brackets. Some brackets may require a second fixing hole.

Diagram 4: Illustrates radiator mounting for radiators using fixed pins with mounting sleeves. Shows front and side views with dimensions H, B, X, Y, and NA.

5. Assembly Instructions:

If using supplied masonry wall plugs, drill 4 holes (approx. 60 mm depth, 8 mm diameter) using dimensions from the assembly dimension table.
Insert wall plugs (C) into drilled holes (only in solid walls).
Attach screw (D) and washer (E) to the bracket for wall fixing. Do not overtighten the screw.
Radiators with a baffle will have a sticker indicating the correct orientation. The baffle must be at the bottom when viewed inside the horizontal tubes. If horizontal tubes are clear, baffle is not required, and installation direction is universal.
Hang the radiator on the bracket.
Mount the air valve (A) and blanking plug (B) in the upper threaded openings of the radiator.
Connect flow and return using radiator valves (not included). Seal threads watertight, recommending PTFE tape. Leaks due to incorrect sealing are not covered by warranty.
How to first fill and vent the radiator:
- Open the air vent.
- Slightly open the inlet valve (approx. 10%) while keeping the outlet valve fully closed.
- Allow the system to fill the radiator slowly. Filling without the heating pump is preferred.
- When the radiator is filled, close the air vent.
- Open both inlet and outlet valves fully and run the heating system for approximately 2 hours.
- Fully close both inlet and outlet valves.
- Open the air vent to release all air. This should clear the radiator. If problems persist, an automatic air vent may be necessary.

Care and use

After installation, ensure the system has been thoroughly rinsed to remove metal, flux, and debris. The system must also be completely vented.
To prevent internal rust and limescale, add a suitable inhibitor to the central heating system during filling.
Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid scouring pads, abrasive agents, or chemical cleaning agents.

Troubleshooting

If some radiator pipes are not warm, check and vent them again. If tubes remain cold, the radiator may have been filled too quickly. Try running it to force air out. If unsuccessful, drain and refill slowly.
If the radiator has patchy heat or heats slowly, it might be fitted upside down. To check: lock off radiator valves, drain water from the air valve until the top tube is empty. Remove air valve and blanking nut. The tube should be clear. If a baffle is visible, it's upside down. If correctly fitted, rebalancing the heating system may be necessary.

Troubleshooting for electric radiators

Upon first use, a small water discharge from the pressure valve at the top is normal. All panels should heat up shortly after. If not, top up the radiator: place it on its side, undo the top side nut, add normal water, and replace the nut.
