Choosing Your Valve Type
Three valve types — which one you need depends on where your pipes come out.
Angled Wall pipes
For pipes that exit horizontally from the wall. The valve turns 90° upward into the rail.
Corner Wall pipes
A tighter alternative for wall pipes — sits flush to the wall for a cleaner, lower-profile finish.
TRV valves are not suitable for towel rails — fitting one could leave your towels damp and smelling. Find out why ↗

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Can this towel rail be used as electric-only or dual-fuel?
A. Yes — with the addition of a heating element, this rail converts to electric-only or dual-fuel running. We pre-fill electric rails with a minimum 85% reverse-osmosis water and inhibitor mixture (ethylene glycol), leaving an air gap for expansion. The element installs at the bottom (left or right) — heat rises, so top-mounted elements won't work properly.
Q.
Will this heat my bathroom on its own?
A. At 1,495 BTU / 534W this rail is sized for compact spaces — downstairs WCs, cloakrooms, and small en-suites. For a typical 1.2m × 1.0m WC you need roughly 160 BTU, so this rail has comfortable headroom there. For a standard bathroom (2.4m × 2m+), consider a taller or wider rail.
Q.
What are the pipe centre and projection measurements?
A. Pipe centres are 650mm. The brackets are adjustable: total projection from the wall is 90–110mm. That gives you flexibility if your pipes don't align perfectly with the rail inlets. Most angled valves give a further ±15mm of horizontal play, so pipe centres between 635–665mm are within tolerance.
Q.
Is the chrome finish rust-resistant?
A. Yes — the chrome plating is applied over high-quality mild steel and resists rust and tarnishing in normal bathroom conditions. The rail carries a 5-year warranty and is tested to BS EN 442.
Q.
Does it come with fixings?
A. Yes — the rail ships with 4× adjustable chrome brackets, screws, rawl plugs and washers, plus a blanking plug and a bleed plug. Valves are sold separately so you can choose straight or angled to match your pipework.
