    Towel Rails on the DHW primary circuit

    I've just received a tender document for a major refurb and the architects specification calls for the towel rails to be installed on the DHW cylinder primaries. (Fully pumped, unvented heating system) This used to be common practice a few years back, - I can't find any reference to whether it...

    Hi all. I'm just wondering if different people have a different method for hanging a towel rad to 1st fix vertical pipework? Do you all just drop the rad onto the pipes and try and hold it in place whilst levelling everything up? Or if there's play in the pipe(up&down) do you hang it by...

    Afternoon chaps and chappesses I have replaced a bathroom rad with a shiny new dual fuel towel rad (Kudox) My issue is that no matter what I do, I cannot get the element even hand tight - always about a quarter to half a turn off If I was to tighten fully, the pipe entry would be out of line...

    Changing towel radiator

    Hi all, im planning to change my towel radiator and have a couple of questions. I managed to remove the old one without draining the system as I could remove the rad but leave the rad's isolator valves (note these are from the radiator and not part of the copper piping). The problem is that...
