This chrome Valeno measures 950x500mm and mounts vertically, which makes it a straightforward fit for a big bathroom or a bathroom with an outside wall. At ΔT50 it puts out 1,575 BTU (461W); on a lower flow temperature expect less.
Plumbing is standard: 1/2" inlets and outlets, plus a pair of 15mm valves.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit a narrow wall?
Yes — 500mm is narrow enough for most awkward walls. The height is where it takes its space: 950mm, so check you have headroom above the skirting and below any shelf or cabinet.
Do I still need a radiator as well?
1,575 BTU covers a room of roughly 4–6m². Measure your bathroom and run the figure through a BTU calculator — if it comes back higher than 1,575, 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 1,575 BTU; drop the flow temperature, as a heat pump does, and it falls to about 1,250 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 950x500mm and 1,575 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.
