Frequently Asked Questions
How does the heat output of the Reina Slimline Type 22 model compare to the Type 11 version?
The Reina Slimline Type 22 double panel double convector radiator has two panels and two rows of internal fins which allows it to generate nearly double the BTU heat output of the Type 11 single panel version of the same dimensions making it much better suited for larger rooms with higher heat loss.
What is the total wall projection for the Reina Slimline Horizontal Type 21 radiator?
The Type 21 model has a radiator depth of approximately 70mm and when installed with the standard wall brackets the total projection from the wall surface to the front face of the radiator is typically between 105mm and 120mm depending on the bracket adjustment.
Why is the smooth flat panel design of the Reina Slimline beneficial for hygiene?
The smooth flat front panel eliminates the deep grooves and ridges found on standard compact radiators which prevents dust and dirt from accumulating on the front surface making it significantly easier to wipe clean and maintain a hygienic environment.
Do I need to check the pipe centres differently for the Reina Slimline horizontal radiator?
Yes because the valve connections are on the sides you calculate the pipe centres by taking the total width of the radiator and adding approximately 90mm for the valves but you must also measure the distance from the wall to the connection centre which varies between Type 11, 21, and 22 models due to their different depths.
Can I install the Reina Slimline radiator on a system with a low flow temperature heat pump?
Yes the Reina Slimline range is compatible with heat pumps but because it is made of mild steel and heat pumps operate at lower temperatures you must size the radiator larger using a lower Delta T rating to ensure it provides sufficient surface area to heat the room effectively.
What is the difference between the Type 21 and Type 22 configurations in this range?
The Type 21 has two panels but only one set of internal convector fins whereas the Type 22 has two panels and two sets of fins which means the Type 22 is deeper and produces more heat while the Type 21 offers a slimmer profile for hallways or narrow spaces.
Is the White RAL 9016 finish on the Reina Slimline resistant to yellowing?
The RAL 9016 Traffic White finish is a high quality powder coating applied electrostatically and cured under heat which provides excellent resistance to discoloration and yellowing over time compared to standard wet paints ensuring the radiator keeps its crisp modern look.
How do I bleed the Reina Slimline horizontal radiator to remove trapped air?
To bleed the radiator you must turn off the heating system to stop the pump then use a standard radiator bleed key to open the air vent located at the top corner of the unit until water begins to flow steadily which releases air pockets that cause cold spots.
Why is a chemical inhibitor necessary for the 5 year guarantee on this mild steel radiator?
Mild steel is naturally prone to corrosion when exposed to the oxygen and minerals in heating water so you must add a chemical inhibitor to the system to coat the internal metal surface preventing rust and sludge buildup which protects the radiator and validates the manufacturer warranty.
Are the side panels and top grille removable for deep cleaning?
Yes the Reina Slimline series comes with factory fitted top grilles and side panels which gives a neat appearance but they can be unclipped or unscrewed to allow access to the internal convector fins for vacuuming dust that accumulates inside the convection channels.
