Choose your fuel type
This listing is the central-heating version. Same design, three ways to power it — make sure you're on the right page for your setup.
Central heating You're here
Connects to your boiler via valves. Heats whenever your central heating is on.
Electric only Independent
Pre-filled and ready to plug in. Run independently of your boiler — ideal for rooms without existing pipework.
Dual fuel Best of both
Central heating in winter, electric in summer. Warm towels year-round without running your boiler.

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 880 BTU / 258W 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 600mm. 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 585–615mm are within tolerance.
Q.
Is the chrome finish on this towel rail rust-resistant?
A. Yes — the chrome is electroplated over high-quality mild steel and lacquer-sealed to resist corrosion in normal bathroom conditions. The rail carries a 5-year warranty.
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.
