Frequently Asked Questions
How do I accurately calculate the required British Thermal Unit output for a Reina Line vertical flat panel radiator to ensure my room stays warm enough during winter?
Measure the height, width, and length of your room in meters and account for heat loss factors like window size and wall insulation. Use a BTU calculator to get the exact number and match it with the radiator output for efficient heating.
What is the specific wall projection distance for the Reina Line flat panel radiator and how does this affect my furniture placement?
The Reina Line sits 70–90mm from the wall depending on brackets. Its slim profile allows furniture like sofas or cabinets to be placed closer without blocking heat circulation.
Can I install the Reina Line mild steel vertical radiator on my existing standard UK central heating system without making major plumbing changes?
Yes, it uses standard 1/2 inch BSP connections compatible with most UK systems. Pipe centers must align, otherwise minor adjustments may be required.
What type of radiator valves should I purchase if my central heating pipes are emerging from the floor rather than the wall?
You need Angled Radiator Valves to connect floor pipes to the side entry of the radiator at 90 degrees, ensuring a watertight and smooth flow.
Does the anthracite powder coated finish on the Reina Line designer radiator reduce the heat output compared to a standard white gloss finish?
No significant difference. The anthracite powder coating is thermally efficient, so both finishes provide excellent heat output; choice is mainly aesthetic.
Why is my vertical flat panel radiator cold at the top while being hot at the bottom and how do I fix this technical issue?
Air trapped in the radiator prevents full circulation. Bleed the radiator using the top bleed valve until water flows, restoring even heat distribution.
What is the difference between Delta T50 and Delta T60 heat output ratings listed for these designer radiators?
Delta T50 is the current European standard using cooler boiler water; Delta T60 is older and assumes hotter water. Always use Delta T50 for modern systems to avoid overestimating heat output.
How do I determine the correct pipe center distance for installing a Reina Line vertical radiator before the product arrives?
Add 80–100mm to the radiator width to account for valves. Ideally, measure the actual radiator and valves on-site before drilling to avoid errors.
Is mild steel a durable material for vertical designer radiators and how does it compare to aluminium options?
Mild steel is strong, durable, and retains heat longer than aluminium, providing steady warmth even after the heating is turned off. Aluminium heats faster but cools quickly.
Do I need to add a chemical corrosion inhibitor to my central heating system after installing a new Reina Line radiator?
Yes, adding inhibitor prevents rust and sludge inside the radiator, protecting both the unit and your boiler warranty.
What wall fixings are required to safely support the weight of a fully filled vertical flat panel radiator?
Mount on a solid wall with the heavy-duty brackets provided. On plasterboard, secure brackets into timber studs or use heavy-duty fixings; standard plugs are insufficient.
Can the Reina Line vertical radiator be connected to a dual fuel system for summer heating when the boiler is off?
Some models can be converted using a compatible electric element and T-piece; check the technical sheet for compatibility.
How does the vertical orientation of the Reina Line radiator improve heat convection in rooms with high ceilings?
The tall panel creates a strong upward air flow, heating rooms evenly. Cold air enters at the bottom, warms along the panel, and rises, improving convection efficiency.
What are the maintenance requirements for the powder coated surface of the Reina Line radiator to prevent damage?
Clean with a soft dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish and heat transfer efficiency.
Why does my new radiator make a gurgling or trickling noise when the heating turns on and how do I stop it?
Gurgling indicates air pockets. Bleed the radiator at the top. If noise persists, check boiler pressure and top up to 1.0–1.5 bar.
What does the 5 year manufacturer guarantee cover on the Reina Line designer radiator?
Covers manufacturing defects like leaks or material faults. Does not cover improper installation, impact damage, or failure to use corrosion inhibitor.
Can I mount the Reina Line vertical radiator horizontally if I have space under a window?
No, internal baffles and flow channels are designed for vertical flow. Installing horizontally will trap air and prevent proper heating.
How do Corner Valves differ from Angled Valves and when should I use them for the Reina Line radiator?
Corner Valves are for wall pipe exits; they allow the valve head to sit parallel or into the room neatly, saving space. Angled valves are used for floor pipe connections.
Does the Reina Line radiator come with the necessary air vents and blanking plugs included in the box?
Yes, a fixing kit includes the bleed valve and blanking plug. Valves must be purchased separately depending on pipework setup.
How does the flat panel design of the Reina Line impact the water content and heating efficiency compared to column radiators?
Holds less water than column radiators, which heats up faster. This low water content provides rapid response times and high heating efficiency for modern homes.
