Central-heating-only heated towel rails from Adax-Solaire connect directly to the existing wet central heating system and are heated solely by the boiler. Because they require no electrical connection, they are the simplest towel rail to install in a bathroom that already has central heating pipework nearby. Available in chrome and other finishes in a range of sizes, these rails are compatible with all standard open-vented and sealed pressurised central heating systems. A plumber is required for installation.
Everything you need to know
No. Central-heating-only towel rails are connected purely to the wet central heating circuit and contain no electric element. They heat up when the boiler is running and cool down when it is off. Because there is no electrical component, no electrician is needed, but a qualified plumber or heating engineer is required to connect the rail to the existing pipework.
Yes. Central-heating-only towel rails are compatible with combi boiler systems, open-vented systems, and sealed pressurised systems. The rail connects to the flow and return pipework in the same way as a standard central heating radiator. Confirm with your installer that the existing boiler output is sufficient to accommodate any additional radiator load, particularly in older properties with many existing radiators.
No. A central-heating-only towel rail cannot be used when the central heating system is off. If you want to heat the rail during summer months or outside the heating season, consider a dual-fuel towel rail instead, which includes an electric element that operates independently of the boiler. Contact 01325 717 899 for advice on suitable dual-fuel alternatives.
The temperature of a central heating towel rail is governed by the boiler flow temperature and the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) fitted to the rail, if applicable. Many central heating towel rails are supplied without a valve, in which case the installer will fit the appropriate valves. A TRV allows you to reduce the heat output of the rail without affecting the rest of the heating system.
Central heating towel rails on adax-solaire.co.uk are available primarily in chrome, with some models offered in anthracite or white finishes. Sizes range from compact single-bar rails suitable for small en-suites to large multi-bar rails for family bathrooms. Check the product dimensions carefully before ordering. Call 01325 717 899 for assistance selecting the correct size for your space and central heating system.
