This document provides essential installation and maintenance instructions for the Pisa Towel Rail. Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional or a fully competent person in accordance with relevant British and European Standards. Ensure the wall is strong enough to support the weight of the radiator when filled with water.
Tools required
- Drill and drill bit
- Residual Current Device (RCD) - recommended
- Pozi Drive or Flathead screwdriver
- PTFE tape
- Measuring tape
- Spirit level
- Pencil
Safety precautions
- Check for hidden pipes or cables before drilling.
- Wear necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety eyewear.
- Handle the product with care.
- Keep small parts away from children.
- Use an RCD when using power tools near water.
Installation steps
- Remove the radiator from packaging. Apply sufficient PTFE tape to valve-tail threads and silicone thread sealant to threaded components with O-rings.
- Screw the air vent into the top hole of the radiator.
- Ensure the wall is strong enough to hold the radiator filled with water. Note: Supplied wall plugs and screws are for masonry walls; alternative fixings may be required for other wall types.
- Mark bracket positions using the radiator and a spirit level.
- Drill four holes and insert wall plugs.
- Screw the round external brackets into the wall plugs.
- Screw the round internal bracket to the front cover plate; these connect through the radiator horizontal bar.
- Mount the radiator by sliding the internal brackets into the external brackets on the wall.
- Secure the radiator by tightening the grub screws into the side of the external brackets using a hexagonal key.
- Make connections to the heating circuit and remove trapped air using the air vent.
Care and maintenance
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will keep the surface looking new. Soapy water can be used to remove stubborn stains, then buff dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners as these will damage the surface finish over time.
