This grey Valeno measures 1200x500mm and mounts vertically, which makes it a straightforward fit for a big bathroom or a bathroom with an outside wall. Heat output is 2,073 BTU at ΔT50 — 608W in metric.

Plumbing is standard: 1/2" inlets and outlets, plus a pair of 15mm valves.

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.

Do I still need a radiator as well?

2,073 BTU covers a room of roughly 6.5–8m². Measure your bathroom and run the figure through a BTU calculator — if it comes back higher than 2,073, 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 2,073 BTU; drop the flow temperature, as a heat pump does, and it falls to about 1,644 BTU. Most UK merchants quote the ΔT50 number.

How does it compare with the other Valeno sizes?

The Valeno range runs from 650x400mm at 1,009 BTU to 1600x600mm at 2,565 BTU, in 11 sizes. This one is 1200x500mm and 2,073 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.

How much heat does your room need?

Enter your room size to see the heat output you need.

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Heat pump? At the lower water temperatures heat pumps run at, expect roughly half the listed output.
  4. 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.
