User Guide

Description

Bathroom towel radiators connected to a traditional hydronic heating system can be fitted with a kit for dual heating that contains an electric heating element, TZT 63  thermostat, and a T-piece. In this case, the heating fluid is heated up either by the electric heating element only, or also from the central heating circuit using the T-piece supplied. The heating element gets wired via the plug-in room thermostat where the desired temperature is set. Bathroom towel radiators with dual heating can be placed in zones 2 and 3 (next to a wash basin, bathtub, or shower cabin).
A comfortable heating element can be obtained by simply installing of recommended heating element into a radiator.
