are these parts available for US as well? I have old radiators that i want to turn into stand alone heat source for rooms where can i find the parts to do what you did in the video?

@anthonyman8008 2 года назад

wheres the heating element???

@peteganze6416 Год назад

@@anthonyman8008 Seriously - they are simply not available . . . like anywhere. I've been watching these videos for weeks and searching. Nada. I'm seriously wondering if this got banned in the US and all the products got pulled.

Love your channel and use it a lot. Always entertaining yet concise with accurate, relevant info. Great advice re expansion bubble! I have a C&G in Plumbing but always refer to your channel to double check things. Keep on keeping on man!

You are awesome!! You open my eyes how two/three port valve works and now dual fuel rads. which I never new of. Thanks! Hold tide!! :)

@terrybooth6082 7 лет назад

Great vid, very helpful in describing the way to connect duel fuel, persuaded me to make the tall rad going in the utility a duel rail now before I install it. As i said helpful vids, saved me a few quid watching how to change the PRV in my boiler. Keep it up, thanks...

@TheJunkyardgenius 4 года назад

Great video. Just wondering if I could fit one in an old large radiator that has 2 inch pipes going to and from it. Do you get bigger elements or an adaptor to make the rad hole take the element screw size. I want it to be a stand alone rad.

@chrismoyler 3 года назад

V helpful and informative video. Tky When you make these videos, it is really helpful if you do a quick zoom on each step. eg how you connected your indicator hose to the valve at the bottom. What kind of adaptor?? Try holding the camera on the detail and voicing over, and giving us a good look at each part instead. Many thanks. Really helpful!

@boxxer750 3 года назад

HI! got a dual fuel towel rad in the bathroom. When changing from central heating to electric for the summer, is it right that I need to close off the flow side and leave the return side open to allow for expansion? Thanks

@AZKHAN12121 7 лет назад

Hiya can i use a 350w heating element on kudox radiator that states to use 250w heating element? the reason i want to use that is because 300w heating element has a termostat and a switch while the 250w doesnt? please advice. thanks

@DomBurgess 4 года назад

Hey, first off, love your channel! Been watching for a while. Now, my question, what size flex do I have to use from a towel rail if I wanted to wire a longer flex into the element? Also, I have boxing in my bathroom which means I could run the flex all the way into the attic where I want to have the fused switch. Does this sound ok to you? (I appreciate you aren't an electrician!)

@thepeginator2556 3 года назад

Is it necessary / worth while adding inhibitor to a stand alone electric towel rail? Presumably the same stuff you’d use for a central heating system? An 85/15 ratio seems to be suggested online.

@gp2670 Год назад

Hi, is it possible to replace the heating element on an older dual fuel radiator? Unfortunately it's an oldie and I think has packed up. Thanks

@racewellmotorsport7800 5 лет назад

Can the heater element go in the top? The pipe work to the towel rail is vertical so a T piece won’t work

@richarddonohoe8168 9 лет назад

That is a nice rad. Surely a top man like you will not be able to look at that lock shield just hanging there! I'm hoping it was for demonstration purposes and you will be offering that beautiful rad the chance to be plumbed in the way it should be, with piping hot water from a lovely boiler, to a lucky subscriber?

@tonygraham5782 Год назад

We have taken out our radiator completely and cut pipe back into wall as bathroom very small. Considering electric towel rail instead but no electrics installed. My partner is curious as to if we even need a rail at all? We rarely used the old one and the room is extremely small. Is it a requirement to have a radiator in bathroom and what would not having one at all be a risk of?

@setanta1966 3 года назад

Is it not possible on a dual fuel Towel rail to be fired by the hot water system as opposed to the heating , specifically for summer months

@bidders77 9 лет назад

Booooom! just what i wanted, thanks

@plumberparts 9 лет назад

bidders77 No Worries!

@nayheem 4 года назад

Could you share the make and model of the element you used.

@Tweed.Echidna 5 лет назад

Love your vids. Is there any inhibitor you would recommend? All the products I’ve seen in the shops say they are only for radiators with water moving around boiler system rather than ‘leccy. Cheers.

@jamesdonovan2423 2 года назад

Did you find one that works? I'm looking at this same issue

@Tweed.Echidna 2 года назад

@@jamesdonovan2423 In the end I used antifreeze (as it can get quite cold in there without it on) which included inhibitor pre-mixed. I then diluted it with water ( I used deionised water that you get for battery refilling). In short, I went down the car aisle rather than the plumbing. All the best.

@@Tweed.Echidna I'd had the same thought! Thanks

@paddymph 7 лет назад

Urgent question!! Great vid, I've got a Burlington Bloomsbury dual fuel Rad waiting to go in the bathroom, except the heating element is weeks away from being delivered. I've seen screwfix sell what seems to be universal elements. Am I right in thinking that so long as it the right size to fit inside the radiator it'll fit..? Plumber is waiting to finish our bathroom and can't until this is done! Would really appreciate a quick answer, thanks!

Hi how much heat does it give off

@peteganze6416 Год назад

Where do you get the element? I've been looking and have never seen one for sale - all the links seem to go to people reconditioning and shipping cast iron radiators. Who in their right mind wants to ship a 1000-pound radiator out to be power washed and retrofitted??

@declanmahon1969 Год назад

Could you fill this rad up with sand instead of water, everything else being the same?

@maxharrow 7 лет назад

Hi, can I ask you what power is the element you installed in there? 1000W ?

@mcboogerballs88 9 лет назад

price comparison compared to a conventional towel rail?

@plumberparts 9 лет назад

mcboogerballs88 Well you wouldn't use the one in the vid for a towel rail. I'd say the one in the video would be £500+....

@davidrutherford3345 4 года назад

I'm thinking water less coolant would be a better / safer alternative the boiling point is higher and it doesn't expand like water.. Mind it would make it an expensive option instead of £10 worth of inhibitor..
