Towel radiators are multipurpose electrical devices installed in lavish bathrooms.
They help your towels dry faster, keep them warm and provide heat to keep the bathroom temperate.
You can install in your bathroom or anywhere else.
It's simple to install without any problems but you must take some precaution when working with electrical devices.
If you already have a normal radiator installed, then you will only have to replace it with a towel radiator.
Here's a list of the things you will need to install a towel radiator.
1.
Measuring tape 2.
Power drill 3.
Anchors 4.
Screws 5.
Plumbing fixtures, such as couplings, bends and elbow joints.
6.
Pipe thread compound 7.
Adjustable pliers 8.
Towels Step 1 Turn off the central boiler.
Allow the water inside the radiator to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2 If you are replacing the old radiator, then remove it first.
Put the towels on the floor around the radiator.
Open the radiator bleed screw at the top.
Place a bowl or container beneath the radiator drain valve.
Twist hard to open the drain valve and drain the radiator into the bowl.
Take off the couplings at either end of the radiator that connect it to the pipes.
Untie any screws holding the radiator to the wall.
Lift the radiator off any leftover clips and put away.
Step 3 Mount the radiator on the wall with the mounting bracket.
The instructions will be different depending on the manufacturer of the towel radiator.
Drill holes if they are required to grip the anchors and insert the anchors.
Ask someone to hold up the bracket on the wall while you continue to screw in the mounting screws.
Attach the radiator rail to the mounting bracket.
Step 4 Measure the distance between the pipe valves and the inlet on the radiator.
The distance measured is the space that you will need to cover with any new piping material.
If you are replacing the radiator with the same size radiator, you will not need any extra pipe material.
Collect all the pieces of pipe and fit them together in a dry run before assembling.
Step 5 Apply pipe thread compound to the threads on the pipe piece and fit them together.
It will help the supply and outlet pipes for the heating system connect to the inlet and outlet on the radiator.
Tightly twist the coupling to tighten them.
Step 6 Now you can turn on the power of the central boiler.
Open up the bleed screw until water starts coming out.
