Frequently Asked Questions
What does "750mm pipe centre" mean and why does it matter?
Pipe centre is the distance between the centre of the inlet pipe and the centre of the outlet pipe on your towel rail. All rails in this collection have a 750mm pipe centre, which is the standard spacing for most UK 800mm wide towel rails. This means you can usually replace your existing rail without moving pipework or digging up tiles – it's a straight swap.
What's the difference between central heating, dual-fuel, and electric-only?
-
Central heating only: Runs off your boiler – cheapest option if you already have a heating system in place.
-
Dual-fuel: Connects to your central heating and has a built-in electric element. Run it off the boiler in winter, then switch to electric in summer when you just want to warm towels without firing up the whole heating system.
-
Electric-only: Runs solely on electricity – ideal for bathrooms without central heating, or for extensions and loft conversions.

Will this fit my existing pipework?
If your current towel rail is 800mm wide with a 750mm pipe centre, then yes – it's a direct replacement. If you're unsure, measure the distance between the centre of your two pipe connections. If it's roughly 750mm, you're good to go.
How do I know which height to choose?
It depends on two things: the wall space you have available, and how much heat you need. As a rough guide:
-
400–600mm: Cloakrooms, small en-suites, or low-ceiling bathrooms.
-
700–1000mm: Standard family bathrooms – the most popular choice.
-
1100–1800mm: Larger bathrooms or rooms that need more heat output.
Each product listing shows the BTU and Watt output, so you can match it to your room size. Use our BTU calculator if you need a hand.
What's included in the box?
Every rail comes with adjustable chrome wall brackets, screws, rawlplugs, washers, and blanking and bleeding plugs. Dual-fuel versions also include the electric element, valves, and T-piece. Basically, everything you need for a straightforward install – though we always recommend using a professional plumber or heating engineer.
How do I look after the chrome finish?
Chrome is low-maintenance – just wipe it down with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution every now and then. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface. The triple-layer chrome plating is designed to resist corrosion and stay looking shiny for years.
