Electrical safety: All electrical work must comply with the latest UK Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). For bathroom installations, the power supply (fused spur or socket) must be located outside zones 0, 1 and 2. If you are not competent in electrical work, employ a qualified electrician. Always isolate the supply before any work.

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Drain the towel rail — if currently plumbed to central heating, isolate at both valves, open the air vent and fully drain the water out of the rail.
  2. Remove the existing bottom blanking plug from the towel rail tapping where the element will go (usually the right-hand side for right-handed cable exit).
  3. Apply PTFE tape to the element thread (around 10–15 wraps in the direction of tightening) to ensure a watertight seal.
  4. Hand-thread the element rod into the towel rail tapping, then tighten with a spanner. Finger tight plus one full turn is usually sufficient — do not over-tighten.
  5. Refill the towel rail with water (for electric-only operation) or reconnect to central heating (for dual-fuel). Leave a small air gap (around 10%) for thermal expansion if electric-only.
  6. Clip on your chosen Reina control unit (sold separately) using the Fast-On quick-fit connector — no rewiring required.
  7. Plug into a switched fused spur located outside bathroom zones 0, 1 and 2.
  8. Power on, set your target temperature (if using a thermostatic control head) and check for any leaks over the first 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Fast-On element rod fit my existing heated towel rail?

Yes — if your heated towel rail has a 1/2 inch BSP bottom tapping, this element rod will fit. That covers almost all UK heated towel rails sold in the last 20 years. If you’re unsure, call 01282 429061.

Do I need a control unit as well, or does the rod work on its own?

The Fast-On Element Rod is just the rod — you’ll need to pair it with a Reina control head to operate it. Choose from the Mini Round Thermostatic Control, Weekly Programmable Control, or Square Wi-Fi Element depending on the level of automation you want. The rod plus control head together make a complete heating system.

Which wattage do I need for my towel rail?

As a guide: 120W suits very small rails up to around 500mm tall, 150W for rails 500–800mm tall, 300W for medium rails 800–1200mm tall, and 600W for large rails or panel radiators 1200mm+. Higher wattages warm up faster but cost slightly more to run.

Can I use this rod in a dual-fuel setup?

Yes — pair it with a Reina Dual-Fuel T-Piece (sold separately) and you can run central heating in winter, electric in summer, all on the same towel rail.

Is the rod IP44 rated?

Yes — IP44 splashproof, suitable for UK bathroom zone 2 installation with appropriate clearance from water sources per BS 7671.

Is this the genuine Reina-branded element rod?

Yes — this is the original Reina-branded element supplied through Reina Designer Radiators’ authorised UK distribution. Comes with the full 1 year manufacturer guarantee.
