Why Choose This Reina Product

1

Essential for Dual-Fuel Conversion

The T-piece is the missing link between your central heating and an electric element — without it, you can’t run a towel rail on both fuels.

2

Run on Central Heating OR Electric

Use central heating in winter when the boiler’s on anyway, and switch to electric in summer (or for a quick boost) without firing up the boiler.

3

Solid Brass Construction

Solid brass body for long service life and full compatibility with central heating water at typical pressures and temperatures.

4

Matching Brushed Brass Finish

The Brushed Brass finish matches Reina’s Brushed Brass radiator valves and accessories for a fully co-ordinated installation.

5

Standard 1/2 inch BSP

Threads into standard 1/2 inch BSP radiator tappings — works with virtually any UK heated towel rail.

6

Sold Individually

Most dual-fuel installations need one T-piece (on the flow-side valve, with the element on the return side).

Setting up a dual-fuel towel rail?
You’ll also need a Reina heating element — see the full Heating Elements range, or call 01282 429061 for expert pairing advice.
Plumbing safety: Always isolate the central heating water supply, drain the radiator, and ensure the system is depressurised before any work. PTFE tape and correct compression fittings are essential for a leak-free join. If you are not competent in plumbing work, employ a qualified plumber.

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Isolate the towel rail at both existing valves and drain the rail fully via the air vent.
  2. Disconnect the flow-side valve from the towel rail tapping (the side where the heated water enters).
  3. Apply PTFE tape to the T-piece male threads (the threads that screw into the rail and the valve).
  4. Thread the T-piece into the rail tapping first, with the open arm pointing downward (toward the floor) or sideways depending on your installation.
  5. Reconnect the central heating valve onto the front face of the T-piece (replacing where it used to connect to the rail).
  6. Fit your electric element into the open arm of the T-piece (apply PTFE tape to the element thread first).
  7. Refill the towel rail and re-pressurise the central heating system. Vent the rail at the air vent.
  8. Check for leaks at all three T-piece connections over the first 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a T-piece to convert my towel rail to dual-fuel?

Yes — the T-piece is the essential brass fitting that lets you connect both your central heating system and an electric element to the same towel rail. Without it, you can only run one fuel source at a time.

How many T-pieces do I need?

Typically just one per towel rail — fitted on the flow-side valve (the warm side), with the electric element on the return side. Sold individually.

What size thread is it?

Standard 1/2 inch BSP — fits any UK radiator with standard tappings and any 1/2 inch BSP electric element including the Reina Fast-On, Touch and Standard ranges.

Can I run central heating AND electric at the same time?

No — always run one fuel at a time. Use central heating in winter (when the boiler’s on anyway) and electric in summer (when the boiler’s off and you just want warm towels). Running both simultaneously can over-pressurise the rail.

Does the colour match my valves?

Yes — the Reina T-Piece is available in chrome, anthracite, brushed brass and white to match Reina’s Portland and Modal valve ranges, plus most popular UK valve colours.

Is it solid brass?

Yes — solid brass body with the colour applied as a durable finish. Long service life, full compatibility with central heating water and pressures.
