Should you ever need, or want, to change one of our cast iron radiator sections, this blog will talk you through exactly what you need to do.

Although they are of outstanding quality, we also design our radiators to be practical. 

Functionally, they work exceptionally well as the high-grade cast iron that we use retains heat far better than standard steel. This means that our radiators heat your home both cheaply and efficiently.

We also take care of the hard work, so that when it comes to putting our radiators together and installing them, you have the easy job!

Step-By-Step 

Use the following steps to change a radiator section: 

• Remove the end cap from the radiator 
• Insert the tool and loosen each side equally.
• Remove both of the one-time-use gaskets and screws and replace them.
• Use the radiator tool to join the sections together and tighten equally.
• Add the endcap and bleed the nipple. Do not use sealant.Step-By-Step
