Delano 800x500mm Matt Black Heated Towel Rail – Compact Designer Radiator, Central Connection

Designed for the spaces standard ladder rails don't suit, the Delano 800x500mm matt black heated towel rail is a compact designer radiator with a distinctive 6+1 bar layout and neat 80mm central connections — the valves sit close together beneath the rail for a cleaner, more architectural look than traditional side-entry rails. At 800mm high it fits under windows, beside vanities and in cloakrooms where a 1200mm rail would overwhelm the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "central connection" mean?

Instead of valves at each side of the rail, both flow and return connect at the centre-bottom, 80mm apart. It looks neater and simplifies pipework planning on new installations.

Is an 800mm towel rail big enough?

For cloakrooms, en-suites and compact bathrooms up to around 3m², yes — 304W (1,037 BTU) at ΔT50 keeps the room warm and towels dry. In larger bathrooms use it alongside underfloor heating.

What is the 6+1 bar layout?

Six main bars plus an additional rail, giving grouped hanging sections rather than an evenly spaced ladder — part of its designer look and practical for separating bath and hand towels.

Can I use it on a sealed system?

Yes — 4 bar maximum working pressure (tested to 5.2 bar) and rated to 95°C water temperature.
