Dual Fuel Setup — Choose Your Valves

There are two ways to convert this rail to dual fuel. Both connect it to your central heating and add the entry for an electric element. Pick the one that suits your pipework — your plumber will advise if unsure.
T-piece dual fuel adaptor with angled valve combo
T-Piece + Angled Valve Combo Floor or wall pipes
  • A T-piece adaptor paired with angled valves
  • The most flexible option — works with pipes from the floor or the wall
  • Shifts the pipe centres by ~70–75mm: this rail's 150mm centres become about 75mm or 225mm, depending on which way it's set up
  • Matching finish — chrome, white, matt black or anthracite
View T-piece adaptor →
Dual fuel ready corner valves for towel rail
Dual Fuel Ready Corner Valves Wall pipes · neatest
  • Corner valves with an integrated T-piece — one tidy part, no separate adaptor
  • For pipes that come from the wall only
  • The most compact, neatest installation vs the T-piece + valve combo
  • Matching finish — chrome, white, matt black or anthracite
View dual fuel corner valves →
Dual fuel tip: when you're heating on the electric element, close one of the two central-heating valves. This stops heat escaping back down your central-heating pipes, so the element only warms the rail. Either valve is fine — left or right — as long as one stays shut. When the boiler comes back on in autumn, reopen it so hot water can flow through the system again.
Buy it as one matching kit — no sourcing parts separately

Our Dual Fuel Kits bundle the element, T-piece and matching-finish angled valves in a single box, so your rail and fittings match completely. Choose Single Heat or ER-Touch below.

Choose Your Dual Fuel Element Kit

The element makes the rail work when your boiler is off. Pick how much control you want — each kit comes complete with the T-piece and matching-finish valves, and is fitted by your electrician into the bottom inlet.
Single heat dual fuel kit
Single Heat Basic
  • On/off at full power — no thermostat
  • Lowest cost element option
  • Compatible with wall timers
  • Complete kit — includes T-piece + matching valves

ER-Touch thermostatic dual fuel kit
ER-Touch Thermostatic Set & hold
  • Set target temperature 45–65°C
  • Cycles to hold temp — saves energy vs flat-out
  • Touch dial on element head
  • 1–5 hour drying mode · IPX4 rated
  • Complete kit — includes T-piece + matching valves
Shop ER-Touch dual fuel kit →
A qualified electrician must install the element and connect it to a fused spur — a regulatory requirement for bathroom electrics in the UK.

Add a Timer (Optional)

Controls when the electric element runs — works with any element type and can be added or upgraded at any time.
Warm towels waiting for you — automatically

Electric elements take up to 30 minutes to reach full heat. A timer switches the element on before you need it, so warm dry towels are ready the moment you walk in — every morning, without touching a switch.

No Timer
  • No scheduled heating — towels stay cold until you switch on
  • Wastes energy — runs when you don't need it
  • Manual only — forget once and it runs all day
Booster timer

  • 1–5 hours countdown
  • Auto-off when time expires

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

What makes this a dual fuel towel rail?

A. It connects to your central heating via valves and also has a bottom inlet for a 300W electric element. In winter, your boiler heats it. When the boiler is off — in summer or a mild evening — the element keeps it warm independently.
Technical team · Elegant Radiators
Q.

Can I use it as electric-only without connecting to central heating?

A. Yes. Isolate the valves and run purely on the electric element. However, if there's no existing pipework, the pre-filled electric-only version is a simpler and neater installation.
Technical team · Elegant Radiators
Q.

Do I need both a plumber and an electrician?

A. For a full dual fuel setup, yes — a plumber connects the rail to your central heating via valves, and a qualified electrician wires the element to a fused spur. Both are regulatory requirements for bathroom installations in the UK.
Technical team · Elegant Radiators
Q.

Is the electric element already fitted?

A. No. The element is ordered separately and shipped in the box. Your electrician fits it into the bottom inlet. You only need it if you want the rail to run when your central heating is off.
Technical team · Elegant Radiators
Q.

What does the glycol pre-fill do?

A. The glycol fluid acts as anti-freeze and anti-corrosion protection when the rail runs in electric mode. It also reduces noise and limescale build-up, helping the rail last longer. The rail is sealed — no top-ups required.
Technical team · Elegant Radiators
Q.

What are the pipe centres, and how do I check they match?

A. Pipe centres are 150mm — the horizontal distance between your hot and cold pipes at the wall. Measure between your existing pipe centres before buying. For a 200mm wide rail, 150mm is the standard spacing. A T-piece + angled valve combo shifts this by ~70–75mm if your pipes don't line up exactly.
Technical team · Elegant Radiators
Q.

Why do I close one central heating valve in dual fuel mode?

A. When you heat the rail on its electric element, close one of the two central heating valves. This stops heat escaping back down your central heating pipes, so the element only warms the rail. Either valve is fine — left or right — as long as one stays shut. When the boiler comes back on in autumn, reopen it so hot water can flow through the system again.
