SILVANA bathroom radiator 500x1236 mm, mocca metallic

Electric heating

If the heater is only heated electrically, i.e. only a heating rod is used, a 1/2" radiator plug must be purchased additionaly. This serves to plug the other hole in the heater which would otherwise be used for the central heating connection valve. We recommend filling the heater with distilled water. It is also recommended to pour in the LIKIDO antifreeze and anti-corrosive heat transfer fluid.
It is necessary to use a heating rod with the same or similar performance according to the specification of the radiator. For heating rods with a thermostat, the temperature of the liquid in the heater is controlled.

Dual fuel heating

Dual fuel towel rails combine two types of heating - central and electric. They can be connected to the central heating system, and also to an electric socket. We recommend a heating rod with the same or similar performance according to the specification of the radiator.

If you have a heater with a central connection, in depends on whether the heating rod can be connected via a valve (in such case a combination valve is used) or whether the rod is connected separately to the side part of the radiator (using a conventional valve). In case of a side connection, a combination valve is always used. There is a choice of using a manual valve or a valve with a thermostatic head.

Manual valve: Temperature control is carried out manually. The hot water supply can be connected to the left/right side of the valve without limitation.
A valve with a thermostatic head: the integrated thermostat maintains the temperature inside the towel rail. The thermostatic head must be located at the hot water inlet (except MONO ONE).

The connection valves we offer are supplied with a clamping fitting for the most common pipes (Ø15 mm for copper and Ø16 mm for Alupex), so there is no need to buy anything else for the connection. For covering the inlet pipes and holes in the wall, we recommend the addition of cover rosettes.

Central heating

In the case of central heating, the selection of the connection valves is very important. You can choose between using a manual valve or a valve with a thermostatic head.

Manual valve: Temperature control is carried out manually. The hot water supply can be connected to the left/right side of the valve without limitation.
A valve with a thermostatic head: the integrated thermostat maintains the temperature inside the towel rail. The thermostatic head must be located at the hot water inlet (except MONO ONE).
