Here at the heat is on, we put the knowledge of what you need directly in your hands as the homeowner, so you needn’t ask or wait for information from your plumber.

heat output

• Firstly, if you haven't already done so - use our heat calculator to work out your specific requirements for your room to ensure you are looking at the right size heated towel rail - in terms of the BTUs heat output it gives.

design & material

• OUSE features s very stunning snake like design.
  
• Terma has invested in pipe bending technology which allows it to produce heated towel rails such as the Swale.
  
• Made from low carbon mild steel.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on central heating towel rails, giving even more information and tips.

colour & finish

• Painted in True Copper (premium wet paint).
• This is a premium wet paint which is painted using a hand finished liquid paint (as opposed to an automated powder paint - so this paint is more expensive). This creates a deeper more metallic type finish.
• Note: If you don't have the budget for a premium wet paint - the closest colour match to this colour in a powder paint would be the Bright Copper colour - which is not quite a coppery and a slightly more brown tone - but will cost the same as the standard powder colours (approx. 25% less). You'll need to call us to request this colour as we don't list this model in Halo on the website yet.
• A 150×50mm colour chip of this finish is available to purchase for preview (link to colour chip will be on right-hand side of page).
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on paint and finishes, giving even more information and tips.

advice on which valves to purchase for piped installation (central heating)

• This heated towel rail is not supplied with valves. 
• For this OUSE model you will need:
• A SLIM TRV head which fits onto the bottom end of the profile - we don't list these on our website at present hence this links to the terma website so you can see them - but we can place this order for you.
• A set of angled integrated lockshield valves will fit underneath - again we don't list these on our website at present hence this links to the terma website so you can see them - but we can place this order for you.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on radiator valves, giving even more information and tips.

what is dual fuel and advice on what accessories to purchase if installing as dual fuel

• Dual Fuel means this towel rail can run on two energy supplies — central heating in the winter, and electric in the summer when the central heating system is typically off, but you can still run this towel rail on its own... for fluffy warm towels after a shower or to quickly dry clothes on it.
• Note: This specific model is not available as electric - hence will not work as dual fuel. If you would like a dual fuel towel rail you'll need to look for an alternative model of towel rail.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on dual fuel towel rails, giving even more information and tips if you decide to go for a standard setup with a T-piece.

• Fully built and tested to EN442 standards and UKCA certified.
• Heat outputs are independently verified by an external testing house to ensure accuracy.
