Technical Drawings | User Manual – R3 Thermostatic Element
The new generation of advanced controllable heating is now available with the R3 range. The Bellerby R3 dual fuel heated towel rail delivers high quality and heating performance, making it perfect for heating bathrooms or drying linen.
Manufactured to the highest standards, this straight black towel radiator is made from thicker steel tubing and delivers energy efficient heat output and a more substantial aesthetic.
The R3 range of towel warmers provide complete control and efficiency. Designed to save as much energy as possible, and also be fully compliant with the LOT 20 energy efficiency directive.
The Bellerby dual fuel thermostatic towel rail’s unique design produces efficient and consistent warmth. When combined with the increased surface area, the heat emission potential is maximised. Which in turn, produces a higher BTU output to keeps your bathroom warm.
The R3’s state of the art technology is integrated into a single element head to ensure a tidy installation, removing the need for additional unsightly connections and receiver boxes. With 7-day timer alongside the adjustable temperature control for the room or radiator, programme the radiator to be on exactly when it’s needed – rather than wasting money constantly having the towel rail on. The R3 comes with open window detection, turning the towel rail off automatically when your trying to cool down the room.
The element’s settings can be changed with the user-friendly remote control. The timer’s schedule is programmed and stored using the remote. As the information is stored in the remote rather than the radiator, it’s quick and easy to re-programme the element should a power cut wipe the memory. Also, multiple elements can be programmed from one remote. The R3 also has manual controls on the front face, allowing temperature adjustment and a 2 – 4 hour boost facility if the remote is ever lost.
The R3 towel radiator has two thermostat options. Towel Rails, especially in a chrome finish, can be extremely hot to touch. Controlling the surface temperature lets you choose how hot the towel rail will be to touch. This is useful in preventing the risk of children or the elderly from burning themselves. It is also ideal if you’re drying towels, as the thermostat recording is isolated from external heat sources, which would interfere with your towel drying. If the radiator is used as the room’s heat source the air temperature thermostat will regulate the radiator based on room temperature.
The element and remote control have an anti-tamper lock. Create your own pin code to unlock the radiator and prevent the element’s setting from being messed around with. This makes it ideal for use in hotels wash room and spaces with young children.
Dual Fuel means the towel rail can be heated from the central heating system or as an electric rail. This allows for heat during the summer when, hopefully, the climate is warm enough for you to turn off your central heating. This is an extremely simple procedure. Simply close one valve and turn the electric element on.
To use in electric mode, you simply tighten one of the dual fuel valves until it is closed and switch the element on.
With the electric element turned off, your dual fuel towel rail becomes like any other radiator in the house. When the central heating is switched on, the towel rail warms up.
Our angled dual fuel radiator valves are a study and well made, composed of solid brass with chrome plating. The valves are screwed into the bottom of the towel rail’s vertical pipes. The electric element is then screwed into the bottom of one of the dual fuel valves. The opposing valve has a blank plug connected to the remaining socket. The central heating pipes connect at a 90 degree angle to the towel rail. So they can come straight out of the inside of the wall, or run horizontally along the wall to connect to the valves.
If you need the central heating pipes to connect to the towel rail vertically, by coming up out of the floor, we can supply our alternative dual fuel valve kit on request. This consists of two straight radiator valves and two t-pieces. The t-pieces are inserted into the towel rail first, and the valves attach the their right angled socket, allowing the dual fuel towel rail to accept pipes from below.
The quality of the Bellerby makes it heavier than normal. As a result we have to supply the best fixing system available.
The Barden’s brackets have internal metal threads for a more secure fitting against the wall. The brackets also provide an adjustable wall projection. This allows you change the wall projection between 93-113mm, making it ideal if the wall is uneven e.g a half-tiled wall. Cheaper towel rails provide less secure brackets which are flimsy at best.
The top of the Bellerby towel rail is well-finished and tidy. One side is flat without obstruction, whilst the other side houses the chrome air vent. There are no nasty nickel plated vents and blank plugs on display.
