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 — isolate at both valves, open the air vent and drain the rail fully.
  2. Remove the bottom blanking plug from the towel rail tapping.
  3. Apply PTFE tape to the LST element thread (10–15 wraps in tightening direction).
  4. Hand-thread the LST element rod into the tapping, then tighten with a spanner. Do not over-tighten.
  5. Refill the towel rail with water (electric-only) or reconnect to central heating (dual-fuel).
  6. Clip on your chosen Reina control unit using the Fast-On quick-fit connector.
  7. Plug into a switched fused spur outside bathroom zones 0, 1 and 2.
  8. Verify safe-touch temperature after 30 minutes of operation, especially in care or vulnerable-user settings. The rail surface should remain below 43°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Low Surface Temperature (LST) element?

An LST element is engineered to keep the outer rail surface temperature below the safe-touch threshold defined in BS EN 60335-2-43 — typically below 43°C. Standard elements can heat rails to 60°C or more, which can scald vulnerable users. LST elements are specified for care homes, dementia care, nurseries, schools, and accessible bathrooms.

Is the LST element legally required in care settings?

Surface temperatures of heating appliances in care environments are regulated under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards. Using LST elements is one practical way to meet those requirements — check with your facility’s compliance officer.

Will the rails still get warm enough to dry towels?

Yes — the rail will be useful for towel drying, just not hot enough to cause skin burns on contact. Drying times may be slightly longer than standard rails but the safety benefit is the trade-off.

Does it need a special control unit?

No — the LST element uses the same Reina Fast-On connector as the standard range and pairs with any Reina control head (Mini Round, Touch, Weekly Programmable, Wi-Fi).

Will it fit a standard 1/2 inch BSP heated towel rail?

Yes — standard UK 1/2 inch BSP threading, fits almost any heated towel rail sold in the UK.

Is this the genuine Reina LST element?

Yes — the original Reina-branded LST element supplied through authorised UK distribution. Full 1 year manufacturer guarantee.
