Radiator accessories

Choose the right radiator accessories for your heating system

A well-functioning radiator is based on the interaction of several different components. Small details such as compression fittings, nipples and return valves play a direct role in the system's operational reliability and energy efficiency. In order for the installation to be tight and problem-free, it is important to choose components that are adapted to the dimensions of the pipes and the system's design.

Important components and their areas of use

In our range of radiator accessories you will find solutions for both new installations, service and completion:

• Couplings and adapters: Used to join the radiator's connections to the home's pipe system (such as PEX, copper or composite pipes). The correct thread dimension ensures a complete seal.
• Distributor and valve body: Regulates the water flow in and out of the element. It is important to distinguish between 1-pipe systems (where the water passes on to the next element) and 2-pipe systems (where each radiator has a separate supply and return).
• Wall brackets and feet: Provide the radiator with a stable and secure mounting on the wall or floor with the correct distance for optimal air circulation.
• Air vents and plugs: Necessary for regular maintenance, venting of elements and secure sealing of unused connections.
• Supply air filters and ventilation details: For radiators with an integrated supply air unit that preheats fresh air from outside.

Things to consider before purchasing

Before ordering accessories for your elements, you should check the following factors:

1. Pipe dimension and connection thread: Measure existing pipes carefully (common standards include M22, c/c 40 mm and G threads).
2. System type: Make sure whether your water-based heating system is designed as a 1-pipe or 2-pipe system, as valve connections and distributors differ.
3. Mechanical load: Check the wall material before choosing a bracket kit so that the suspension can withstand the total weight of the radiator including water content.

With correctly installed radiator accessories, you create a tight, reliable and quiet heating system that delivers pleasant indoor comfort all year round.
