This black Arvani measures 1000x500mm and mounts vertically, which makes it a straightforward fit for a standard family bathroom. Heat output is 1,774 BTU at ΔT50 — 520W in metric.
Connections are 1/2" BSP and it needs a pair of 15mm valves, sold separately.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit a narrow wall?
It is 500mm wide, so it will go where a conventional radiator will not — between a door and a basin, or on the short return wall of an en-suite. Leave roughly 30mm behind it for the brackets and another 100mm below for the valves.
Will this heat the room on its own?
1,774 BTU covers a room of roughly 6m². Measure your bathroom and run the figure through a BTU calculator — if it comes back higher than 1,774, go up a size or add a second heat source.
Why are two BTU figures quoted?
Heat output depends on how hot the water is. At ΔT50 this rail gives 1,774 BTU; drop the flow temperature, as a heat pump does, and it falls to about 1,034 BTU. Most UK merchants quote the ΔT50 number.
How does it compare with the other Arvani sizes?
The Arvani range runs from 650x450mm at 1,060 BTU to 1200x600mm at 2,487 BTU, in 10 sizes. This one is 1000x500mm and 1,774 BTU, so there is a smaller and a larger option either side of it.

Help choosing
A towel rail should keep the bathroom warm, not just dry towels. Check it's powerful enough for the room.
Enter your room size to see the heat output you need.
- Match the output to the room. Use the BTU figure from the calculator. In a bathroom, a towel rail alone often heats a small room; bigger rooms may need a radiator too.
- Check your connections. Measure the gap between your pipes and choose valves to suit: angled, straight or corner (see the valve helper on our valve pages).
- Heat pump? At the lower water temperatures heat pumps run at, expect roughly half the listed output.
- Summer use. Central heating rails only warm up when the heating is on. A dual fuel kit adds an electric element where the rail supports it.
Still not sure? Send us your measurements and we'll check for you.
