In order to assist and advise our customers, it is important to note, as all our radiators are cast using traditional methods and casting moulds, there will be slight imperfections and fettling marks on our radiators and this is how we have always wanted to supply them.

This is because we are passionate about wanting to supply our cast iron radiators which have the appearance and authenticity of being many many decades old, but with the features and guarantees associated with that of a modern radiator.

An important point to note for some..... The lighter the colour of your radiator the more these slight marks will possibly be noticed due to shadowing etc and the lighter colours such as Cream White are likely to require touching up more often to keep free from accidental scuffs and knocks.

On the other hand, for obvious reasons, the darker the colour, the more forgiving and less likely these marks will be noticed and as such, these are much easier to ensure the always look in 'Tip Top' condition.

^† Height is for foot section from floor to top of radiator.
^‡ All lengths approximate and include to bush ends - please allow 4% tolerance.

Standard finish to all cast iron radiators is a cellulose base coat.

The lead time from order placed to despatch for all radiator orders will be shown on radiator product page at checkout. Remember, this is a live anticipated lead. We will obviously ship the order sooner if complete.

We can also supply this cast radiator ready painted/top coated in one of our authentic colours at a nominal cost per section.

The following exclusive colours are available:

• Gunmetal Grey
• Satin Black
• Cream White
• Antique Bronze
• Matt Black

As the radiators are hand assembled, all dimensions are approximate. We therefore advise that pipework should only be put in place once the radiator has been delivered.

Bush Ends
All bush ends/caps will only be hand tight to allow customers to interchange if on a gravity fed heating system & will need fitting correctly when installed with PTFE etc.

Accessories & Bleed Valves
All Fittings (Valves, Wall stays, Shrouds etc) ordered will be placed in a box located on top of the top radiator. Air Vents/bleed valves will be inside this box, within a SEALED ORANGE BAG stating 'Bleed Valves Enclosed', and stapled to the yellow A3 sheet with our Fitting Instructions. You MUST check it's content upon delivery & report any missing items immediately.

Radiator Fitting Guidelines

• Appropriate dosing tool must be used and water subsequently tested to ensure correct levels of inhibitor are added to match the total water content of your system. This should be recorded for future reference. Failure to do so will invalidate any warranty offered.
• In addition to the above, it is always important to remember that every time your heating system is drained down for repairs/alterations/decorating etc, Inhibitor will need to be re-introduced again to the correct dosing level.
• To comply with BS 7593:2019, inhibitor levels should be checked annually and recorded as part of your boiler service. BS 7593:2019 also states that after 5 years systems should either be re-dosed, or a laboratory test performed. Failure to do the above will invalidate your warranty.
• If you have a sealed/pressurised system, once the correct amount of inhibitor is added to the system, it should remain active for the life span given by the manufacturer or until the system is drained.
• If you have a vented/open system, you MUST regularly check that the inhibitor in the system is at correct level for your system volume as evaporation may affect levels over time. failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.
• Lastly, we always recommend that suitable trained/qualified individuals install and maintain your heating system.
• All bush ends/caps will only be hand tight to allow customers to interchange if on a gravity fed heating system and need fitting correctly when installed.
• A common cause of leaks is over tightening of the valve tails into the bush ends of the radiator. Over tightening will crack the bush. When fitting the valve tail into the bush, turn it finger tight, then using a spanner turn it until there is only moderate resistance. Using a 4” spanner it is difficult to over tighten. A thread sealant must be applied to the radiator end caps and to the valve tail threads to get a water tight seal. LSX sealant, which is available at most plumbers’ merchants, is recommended. PTFE tape is an acceptable alternative. The torque from an 8” adjustable spanner will be sufficient to create a good seal.
• All valves and air vents/bleed valves to be fitted with an LSX sealant or PTFE tape.
• NO caustic/corrosive/acidic plumbing compounds or liquids are to be used on or in any part of our radiators, our valves, or connections including aggressive flushing agents. Failure to not adhere to this will invalidate your guarantee.
• On commissioning, the water in the system MUST BE cleaned to remove debris, flux & residues. It should then be tested and if required, neutralised correctly following the use of any compounds etc if required using appropriate crystals or similar.
• If your system requires flushing, we recommend the use of Fernox F3 followed by the use of F1 rust inhibitor, which unlike other chemicals are not acid based and should not affect seals. After treatments the water should be checked for a neutral PH between 6.5 - 8.5. System design, flushing and dosing must be in accordance with B5449, 1990. BS EN 12828: 2003 and BS 7593:2019.
• Following this procedure, the system must be closed with a sufficient Corrosive Inhibitor suitable for the water quality in your system. Dosing tools must be used to ensure the minimum correct levels of inhibitor are present at all times to prevent corrosion and should take into account the particular metals within the system.
• Appropriate inhibitor should be used in conjunction with manufacturer’s instructions and appropriate quantities must be used for the water content of the system. Failure to do so will invalidate your guarantee.
• The use of water softener in the heating system can cause problems with the gasket seal and will invalidate any guarantee offered.
• We do not advise using our cast iron radiators with an electrical heating element.

We always advise you to wait for your cast iron radiators to be onsite before working out pipe work and pipe centres widths. This is because cast iron is not an exact product and because each radiator is hand assembled there will always be slight discrepancies as indicated on each radiator page in the lengths of same style & size radiators.

However, we appreciate that occasionally some prep work may need to be carried out prior to your order arriving onsite and that approximate pipe centre measurements may be required for first fix purposes.

In this instance, please refer to the technical drawing/specification document, saved as a PDF on each individual valve type, for the measurement from the thread on the valve tail to the centre point of the valve, and add this to the length of your radiator to work out your approximate pipe centre measurement.

For example, if fitting one of our Kenilworth Thermostatic Valve Sets, which has a measurement of 45mm from thread on the valve tail to the centre point of the valve, to a 10 section, Traditional Victorian radiator at 650mm wide, the approximate pipe centre measurement would be 740mm.

For the approximate measurement off the skirting board or wall if no skirting is used to the pipe centre we suggest half the depth of the cast iron radiator + 10mm as a minimum.

For the approximate ‘outside valve to outside valve measurement’ (the minimum measurement to be able to operate the valves freely) you should add approx. 150mm/6.0” to the length indicated for each radiator in the Specification tab, however this measurement will vary depending on the valve that is fitted - this measurement should be used if fitting the radiator and valves into an area where there may be a width restriction.

DELIVERY LEAD TIMES - Lead times to despatch are now shown live on the website and we will always do our utmost to keep to stated times.

All radiator pallet deliveries are made on a 7.5t Lorry (the smallest vehicle we can book) with tail lift to kerb side only or nearest hard standing and are based on a 'Book In & Signed For' All Day service (9.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m. - Week days only).

Once the order has been booked out for despatch, you will receive status emails periodically from Mobile People Powered Logistics (Mobile PPL), our delivery partner, to confirm receipt of the order, confirmation of the pallet being scanned to a delivery vehicle (with ETA), and then confirmation of delivery completed.

Alternative ‘All Day’ dates will be available at no additional cost to suit.

Upgraded to services such as Next Day delivery, Dedicated Day a.m. or p.m., timed delivery windows and Saturday deliveries where available are available for an additional charge to be paid directly with Mobile PPL only.

RED ROUTES & RESTRICTIVE PARKING - Please note drivers are unable to park on double yellow or red lines due to the risk of a parking ticket.

ACCESS - Please inform us if there are any access restrictions at your delivery point (such as 7.5T weight restrictions or height restricted bridges).

If you require a 'Dedicated Day' (working week day) for delivery to ensure you have help to hand you must indicate this in the message box at checkout. Please note that this may delay delivery slightly. This will still be a kerb side only or nearest hard standing service. For Saturday delivery, there will be an additional charge on top of the standard delivery charge quoted if this service is available.

We must stress that a Pallet Delivery Service is always kerbside only. The drivers are not insured to assist you with any aspect of moving the goods from the kerbside.
