Frequently Asked Questions
What is the heat output capability of The Chaucer Side Rail range?
The Chaucer Side Rail offers substantial heat output for bathroom spaces. Depending on the size selected, the output ranges from 1344 BTUs for the smaller 832mm x 500mm model up to 2416 BTUs for the larger 1348mm x 600mm version at Delta T50. You should calculate your specific room heating requirements to ensure this output is sufficient to warm your space effectively.
Does The Chaucer Side Rail require specific valves for installation?
Yes, like most designer towel rails, The Chaucer Side Rail is supplied without valves to allow you to choose a style that matches your bathroom decor. You will need standard 15mm radiator valves. Depending on your pipework, you might need angled valves for wall pipes or straight valves for floor pipes to ensure a secure and leak free connection to your central heating system.
What material is this designer towel rail manufactured from?
This rail is constructed from high grade mild steel, which ensures durability and efficient heat transfer. The robust steel construction is designed to withstand the humid environment of a bathroom while maintaining consistent performance. It comes with a standard White RAL 9016 finish, but other special finishes are available to match different interior styles.
How far does the radiator project from the wall once installed?
The technical specifications indicate a depth of 92mm for The Chaucer Side Rail. When planning your installation, you must account for this depth plus the wall bracket clearance. This measurement is crucial for ensuring the rail does not obstruct doors or walkways in smaller bathrooms or cloakrooms while still providing ample space for thick towels.
Can I install this towel rail on any standard central heating system?
The Chaucer Side Rail is fully compatible with standard UK central heating systems. It functions like a regular radiator, plumbed directly into your hot water circuit. For optimal performance and to prevent internal corrosion or sludge build up, we recommend flushing the system and adding a suitable inhibitor fluid during installation.
What are the dimensions available for tight bathroom spaces?
To solve space constraints in smaller rooms, the range includes a narrow 500mm width option available in both 832mm and 1348mm heights. This allows you to install a high output heating solution in tighter wall spaces without sacrificing the practicality of having multiple bars for towel drying.
Does the product come with a manufacturer warranty?
Yes, The Chaucer Side Rail is backed by a comprehensive 10 Year Guarantee. This long term warranty covers manufacturing defects and material failure, providing peace of mind regarding the quality and longevity of your investment. It is important to retain your proof of purchase to validate this guarantee should any issues arise.
How many towel bars are provided on these models?
The unit is designed with functionality in mind, offering a high number of bars for maximum storage. The 832mm height models feature 17 bars, while the taller 1348mm models feature 27 bars. This dense bar configuration ensures you have plenty of heated surface area to dry multiple towels simultaneously and warm the room efficiently.
Is the wall fixing kit included with the radiator?
The Chaucer Side Rail is supplied with a standard wall bracket kit necessary for secure mounting. These brackets are designed to support the weight of the steel rail, which ranges from 8kg to 10kg depending on the model. Ensure your wall is strong enough to hold the weight, especially when the rail is filled with water and wet towels.
Can this rail be used with an electric heating element?
While the primary design is for central heating, many steel towel rails can be converted to dual fuel with the correct accessories. You would need to purchase a suitable electric element and a T-piece separately. However, you must check with a qualified electrician or plumber to ensure the element wattage is safe for the specific liquid volume of the rail size you choose.
