A dual fuel radiator lets you use the same radiator in two ways:

• Electric mode via a heating element during the warmer months, ideal for drying towels without switching on your central heating.
  
• Central heating mode during the winter when your heating system is running.

The fact we supply matching /complementary colour components in most cases means that both the rail and parts need to be custom made to achieve this look. Our dual fuel rails don't call come with standard chrome valves and a standard element - but of course its impossible to carry the amount of stock needed to be able to supply such a wide variation. So like anything more high end these are supplied on a lead time.

The vast majority of dual fuel radiator we show below need pipework which should be set at 50mm distance between the two pipes. This is due to the fact we use mainly UNICO or TWINS specialist dual fuel valves:

• UNICO valves allow the flow and return to go on the same side of the radiator leaving the other side free for the elemnet.
• TWINS are 50mm valves usually located in the centre of the rail - leaving either side free for the element.

So if you are doing a full bathroom install this are both easy to install, as you can set the pipework at 50mm.

If you already have pipework in your bathroom which is wider than this and you want to install dual fuel without changing the pipework you need to choose a dual fuel rail which comes with our INTEGRA valves which have an integrated T Piece so that the pipework can be set wider as per the width as the towel rail.

Note: We can also change the specification of ANY towel rail shown below to use INTEGRA valves instead of UNICO/TWINS -simply drop us a email or give us a call and we can re spec. and quote these for you.

You can also use the "Pipe Centres" filter on the left side below to filter the selection by this width to see those which aren't 50mm.

Dual fuel can be complicated to understand in terms of setup and components required. We have written a full technical guide for dual fuel. `Click here to view the technical guide all about dual fuel
