Designed for Dual-Fuel Towel Radiators
A dual-fuel towel radiator combines central heating with an electric heating element, allowing the towel rail to be heated independently when the main central heating system is switched off. This is particularly useful during warmer months when you may want warm, dry towels without heating the rest of the home.
This T-piece provides the additional connection required to install a compatible electric heating element and central heating radiator valve at the same bottom radiator connection.
1/2" BSP Connections
The fitting features two G1/2" BSP female connections and one G1/2" BSP male connection. This configuration is designed for compatible towel radiators, radiator valves and electric heating elements using 1/2" BSP connections.
Always check the connection type, thread size and installation arrangement of your radiator, valve and heating element before ordering.
Compact T-Piece Dimensions
The T-piece has a compact design with an approximate overall width of 35mm, a 26mm opening / connection area and an approximate 40mm main body height. The lower G1/2" BSP male threaded section is approximately 10mm long.
Please allow for normal manufacturing tolerances and use these measurements as a fitting guide.
Brass Construction with Chrome-Plated Finish
The fitting is manufactured from brass and finished with a polished chrome-plated exterior. The chrome surface provides a clean, coordinated appearance when installed with chrome towel radiators, valves and heating accessories.
A rubber O-ring seal is incorporated around the lower connection to assist with sealing when correctly installed with compatible components.
Suitable for New Installations or Replacement
As well as new dual-fuel installations, this fitting can be used as a replacement towel radiator T-piece where the existing fitting uses a compatible G1/2" BSP connection arrangement.
Before replacing an existing fitting, compare the thread sizes, connection orientation and dimensions to ensure compatibility with your towel radiator installation.
