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 electrician. Here we give you complete expert guidance for this specific electric towel rail — including details of any additional parts required — so you can ensure a smooth and successful installation when your tradesman arrives.

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 electric radiator - in terms of the Watts / Kilowatts heat output it gives.

design & material

• Inspired by ribbons curling in the wind, VIPERA brings a flowing, sculptural aesthetic to the bathroom.
• The alternating flat tubes paired with soft “D-section” collectors create a unique, three-dimensional visual effect.
• The intersecting flat bars offer practical, evenly spaced areas for hanging towels while maintaining the refined design character of VIPERA.
• Made from low carbon mild steel.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on electric towel rails, giving even more information and tips.

installation & features

• Element is pre fitted inside the electric towel rail - located on the right hand side (E8 connection). If you would like the heating element on the left hand side (E1 connection) please contact us to place this as a special order. Think about where your electric supply will be so the wire has the shortest distance to travel.
• Control button discreetly located on the underside, with a miniature front-facing LED panel.
• Supplied with 1.5m cable for connection to a fused spur (no plug included).
• Quick and simple installation; no commissioning required.
• This electric towel rail is not supplied with a plug - so must be connected to a switched fused spur - or you can mount a plug (if this is not being installed in a bathroom). If you'd like a model pre fitted with a plug look at the Wi-Fi options as the VEO elements are pre fitted with a UK plug.
