Electric heating element with thermostat, 300 W - chrome

Product detailed description

Electric heating element with thermostat for towel radiators.

The element is installed into a towel radiator in place of the blanking plug and allows heating the bathroom even outside the heating season (e.g. in summer) without the need to run the boiler. It is simply connected to a standard 230 V electrical socket.

Installation and operating principle

The element is installed into the lower (or upper) opening of the towel radiator in place of the blanking plug using a suitable wrench. The housing with the thermostat and cable rotates around its axis, so after screwing it in you can turn it to a position where the thermostat control is clearly visible and accessible. This allows you to heat the radiator with water from the boiler in winter and electrically outside the heating season, without having to start up the entire heating system.

Frequently asked questions

• How is the element connected to electricity? Via a standard 230 V socket using the included plug; there is no need for a permanent connection to the electrical wiring.
• What type of thermostat is inside? An electronic, rotary thermostat that senses the temperature of the water in the element (not the room air temperature).
• Can it also be installed from the top of the radiator? Yes, installation is also possible from the upper part of the radiator in place of the blanking plug, not just from below.
• What medium can be in the radiator? Water as well as antifreeze mixture (heat transfer fluid commonly used in towel radiators).
• How to choose the right output? Lower outputs (150-300 W) are suitable as a supplementary heat source or for small radiators, while higher outputs (600-1200 W) are suitable for larger towel radiators or as the main heat source outside the heating season.
