Heating Options
Ensure the space you have is of adequate dimensions and that suitable services can be directed to the location. Check you have sufficient room to accept the projection of the towel rail without impeding access or door opening etc. Never install a towel rail without providing for suitable isolation. All Vogue products must be installed in accordance with BS5449, BS7593 and BS7671 to avoid invalidation of the guarantee.
Ensure the towel rail of your choice is suited to the circuit available. Never install an item containing ferrous (steel) parts on an open circuit. If in doubt, ask!
Wherever possible Vogue towel rails are manufactured using dezincification resistant brass. However, it should be understood the term ‘resistant’ does not entirely preclude the possibility of dezincification occurring. If you intend to install the product on an open (direct) hot water circuit, make reference to your local water authority to ensure dezincification has not previously occurred.
Towel rails manufactured from brass tubing should not be installed on an open circuit if a water softener is present. Water analysis to determine the likelihood of dezincification is available at cost. Product compatibility is the responsibility of the installer. In aggressive water areas, or where water softeners are installed, dezincification resistant materials are available and can be specified for certain models. Please ask for an individual quotation.
HEATING ONLY (HO) - Suitable for ALL circuits
For connection to either direct (open) or indirect (closed) central heating or hot water circuit
HEATING ONLY (HO) - Suitable for indirect (closed) circuits
only For connection to an indirect (closed) central heating circuit ONLY. Cannot be installed on an open circuit due to the item containing ferrous (steel) parts.
ELECTRIC ONLY (EO)
A completely independent unit requiring only a fused spur electric connection in close proximity. Standard format for electric towel rails is fluid filled. Thermal transfer fluid is heated by an electric element located at the bottom of the towel rail. The element is a sealed cartridge and therefore can be easily changed in case of failure.
HEATING & ELECTRIC (HE)
Also known as dual fuel or dual energy. Connected to a central heating circuit and including an electrical element which allows for operation in summer months when the central heating is NOT in use.
