Product InformationSpecificationWhat's in the box

This matt black straight ladder heated towel rail uses 22mm round cross-tubes, a proven, practical design that dries and warms towels evenly. A soft-touch matt black finish turns a practical fitting into a design feature, especially against light walls and pale stone-effect tiles.

12 sizes are available, with heat outputs from 1,567 to 4,105 BTU/hr at ΔT60. It is made from mild steel to BS EN ISO 9001 quality standards, with a maximum working pressure of 7 bar, and comes with a fixing kit including wall brackets, plugs and an air vent. It runs on your central heating; valves are sold separately.

Frequently asked questions

Which valves do I need?
You will need a pair of 15mm radiator valves. For a matching look choose manual modern radiator valves in matt black. See all radiator valves.

Can I use it when the heating is off?
Yes, convert it to dual fuel with a dual fuel heating element kit and dual fuel corner valves, so you can warm towels on electric in summer. Have the electrical connection made by a qualified electrician.

Other finishes?
Also available in chrome, textured grey, brushed brass and white.

Help choosing

A towel rail should keep the bathroom warm, not just dry towels. Check it's powerful enough for the room.

How much heat does your room need?

Length (m) Width (m) Height (m) Room Windows Outside walls

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.

Questions people ask

What does BTU mean?

BTU (British Thermal Units) is the heat output. The higher the figure, the more heat it gives. Use the calculator under Help choosing to see what your room needs. Outputs are quoted at ΔT50.

Which valves do I need?

Match the valve to how your pipe meets the rail: pipe and inlet in a straight line needs a straight valve, a pipe coming up from the floor into a side inlet needs an angled valve, and a pipe from the wall into a side inlet needs a corner valve. Valves aren't included unless stated.

Can I use it in summer?

A central-heating-only rail warms up only when your heating is on. A dual fuel rail with an electric element can run on its own. Check the heating type in the Specification tab, as not every rail can be converted.

What size rail do I need?

Check the heat output in the Specification tab. As a towel warmer any size works; if the rail is the room's only heat source, make sure the output covers the room, or message us and we'll help.

Will it match my brushed brass taps?

Brushed gold and brushed brass are the same warm satin family and coordinate well. See Complete the look for pieces in the same finish.
