Aura Steel Stainless Steel Dual Fuel Heated Towel Rail
The Aura Steel dual fuel stainless steel heated towel rail is perfect for drying towels and heating the room. Stainless steel towel rails are superior to the more commonly used chrome versions. This is because stainless steel offers better heat emission, resulting in higher outputs and more efficient heating. Also, stainless steel is harder wearing which means its less likely to degrade and rust over time.
This towel radiator is made from quality grade 304 stainless steel and highly polished to a fluid mirror like finish. The overall quality is eye-catching when compared with cheaper alternatives. The Aura Steel is a thicker and more substantial towel rail, protected from defects such as rusting and pinhole leaks.
The Aura Steel dual fuel towel rail has a flat ladder design with 22mm horizontal bars. The cross bars have spacing between groups, leaving plenty of room to hang and dry towels. We offer a comprehensive 10-year guarantee on this long-lasting towel rail for your peace of mind.
Dual Fuel – Year Round Heat.
Dual Fuel means the towel rail can be heated from the central heating system or as an electric rail. This allows for towels to be warmed and dried during the summer when the central heating is not in use.
Dual Fuel – Electric Mode
The Celsius CP electric element offers superior quality and efficiency. It is splash proof (IPX6 rated), suitable for all bathroom zones. In the event of a temperature change, the element adapts to keep a smooth surface temperature across the towel rail. This self-regulating effect avoids overheating, while ensuring efficient power usage and low running costs. To use in electric mode, you simply tighten one of the dual fuel valves until it is closed and switch the element on.
Dual Fuel Valves – Central Heating Mode
With the electric element turned off, your dual fuel towel rail becomes like any other radiator in the house. When the central heating is switched on, the towel rail warms up.
Dual Fuel Assembly
Our angled dual fuel radiator valves are a study and well made, composed of solid brass with chrome plating. The valves are screwed into the bottom of the towel rail’s vertical pipes. The electric element is then screwed into the bottom of one of the dual fuel valves. The opposing valve has a blank plug connected to the remaining socket. The central heating pipes connect at a 90 degree angle to the towel rail. So they can come straight out of the inside of the wall, or run horizontally along the wall to connect to the valves.
Alternative Dual Fuel Valve Option
If you need the central heating pipes to connect to the towel rail vertically, by coming up out of the floor, we can supply our alternative dual fuel valve kit on request. This consists of two straight radiator valves and two t-pieces. The t-pieces are inserted into the towel rail first, and the valves attach the their right angled socket, allowing the dual fuel towel rail to accept pipes from below.
