Milano - Modern Radiator Flow Diverter - 15mm Inlet

Product Information

There’s a false claim that vertical radiators take longer to heat up. However the truth is that vertical radiators have an equal BTU heat output to horizontal radiators. Most people have been lead to believe that all the heat escapes from the top of them. During the colder months, everybody wants their home to be warm and cosy and for it to stay that way for the duration of winter. The Milano 15mm flow diverter is designed to force water through each column around your radiator, which ensures an even and consistent heat across the radiator’s surface. If you’re comfortable with basic DIY, removing sludge from one radiator is a pretty simple (though sometimes messy) job. Small pin-hole leaks in the system – this will often mean you are regularly topping up your boiler pressure.

So, what do I do, drain the rads and look through top and bottom to confirm no baffle, then fit the baffles? If so which side should I fit the baffles on, return? Worried if there on the flow water would run in, up across and out causing similar issues? However, those making the switch from more traditional types of radiators to column radiators often have many questions. In this Q&A, we will dive into all the top questions that people ask when they’re thinking of choosing a vertical radiator.

A single radiator is a superb choice for the style and opulence a vertical model offers. If you’re after a warmer room, remember that vertical models emit more heat, without using a great amount of energy. A diverter valve is not required in system and conventional boilers as the hot water they produce is stored in a hot water tank for when it is needed. By bleeding a radiator the bleeding process will rid any air that has accumulated within the radiator and this can be done using the vent / bleed valve. Designer radiators can make a huge statement in your home and become a prominent feature in the rooms of your home, in addition to the fact they are a new component to your home. In turn, this can add value if you decide to sell your property. Due to them saving space, it also helps buyers the ability to picturise the house as their own and how they’d decorate each room.

Radiator balancing is adjusting the flow of water running through each radiator so that each radiator is running at equal temperatures and takes the same amount of time to reach their operating temperature.

Vertical radiators can be more effective at heating your rooms compared to panel radiators, as they are more likely to be column radiators as they have a larger surface area, this means that they are more efficient at heating the air around the room, this will therefore have a positive effect on energy bills, also making them more environmentally friendly. Incidentally, this continuing cold weather has meant I have managed to do a a proper test at home and I have no complaints about these radiators not heating sufficiently!! Before bleeding your radiator you'll need to make sure it has been “bled” properly before. Where air is present at the top of the radiator it means there isn't any water to warm up and therefore your radiator wont warm up efficiently. What am i missing? any help is appreciated as we cant go another Winter with the kitchen being so cold again

And, if you don’t have one already, now is a good time to explore the option of a mid-position diverter valve fitted, which enables to you use your hot water, while keeping your radiators warming up. And for consistently hot water and a warm home, this is an excellent investment to consider! This Milano 15mm inlet flow diverter is a great accessory for your new radiator as it will help to direct warm water throughout each column, ensuring an even and consistent heat across the surface of your radiator. Fitting neatly between the valve and radiator, this flow diverter is great if you are having heat distribution problems with your radiator. However, if your boiler was installed more than 10 years ago, you may want to consider a new boiler, which will iron out the diverter valve problems as well as run much more efficiently and help to keep those energy bills down. Your gas safe engineer can advise you on the best products and arrange the new replacement boiler installation. Some radiators require internal fittings called “flow diverters”. They ensure that water flows in the right direction through your radiator.

Does your system have a separate pump or is it built in to your boiler? If the former, what setting is it on (and it should be the new type of low energy self-adjusting pumps anyway). What type of rads have you fitted? It is very unlikely they have dedicated 'sides' and should be fitable either way around.
