Frequently Asked Questions
What rooms is the Rivena chrome best suited to?
With 266W (908 BTU) at ΔT50 it's ideal for cloakrooms, en-suites and small bathrooms up to around 3m², or as a dedicated towel warmer in larger bathrooms that have underfloor heating or another radiator.
Will it fit where my old towel rail was?
If your existing rail has 450mm pipe centres — the most common UK spacing for 500mm-wide rails — it's a straight swap using 1/2" BSP connections.
Is it suitable for a pressurised (sealed) heating system?
Yes. It's rated to 6 bar working pressure and pressure-tested to 8 bar, with a maximum water temperature of 75°C.
Does chrome need special maintenance?
No — a soft cloth with warm soapy water, buffed dry, keeps the shine. Avoid scouring pads and acidic cleaners.
