A premium 300W touch-controlled thermostatic heating element in Chrome — converts any compatible heated towel rail to electric or dual-fuel operation with precise temperature control from 30°C to 60°C. IP44 splashproof rating and 5-hour auto-off timer. 1 year Reina manufacturer guarantee.
Set the exact temperature you want from 30°C to 60°C with intuitive touch buttons — no twist dials, no guesswork. The clear LED display shows your target temperature at a glance.
The 300W output is well matched to most UK heated towel rails, heating a full rail of towels in 20–30 minutes. Higher wattage = faster warm-up.
The Chrome housing matches Reina’s Chrome towel rail ranges and complements virtually every UK Chrome towel rail and bathroom suite for a clean, integrated look.
The IP44 rating allows safe installation in bathroom zones with appropriate clearance from water sources, in line with UK Wiring Regulations BS 7671 Section 701.
The automatic shut-off after 5 hours prevents the element from being left on accidentally — lowering running costs and adding a layer of safety, especially in family bathrooms.
Full 1 year coverage on the genuine Reina-branded element, registered with Reina Designer Radiators — supplied through authorised UK distribution.

Yes — if your heated towel rail has a 1/2 inch BSP bottom tapping, this element will fit. That covers almost all UK heated towel rails sold in the last 20 years, including Reina, Kartell, Heatwave, MHS, Heritage and most own-brand rails. If you’re unsure, call 01282 429061 and we’ll confirm.
Match wattage to rail size: 300W for small rails (under 800mm), 600W for medium rails (800–1200mm), 900W for large rails or panel radiators (1200mm+). Higher wattage = faster warm-up.
Yes — this is called a dual-fuel installation. You’ll need a Reina Dual-Fuel T-Piece (sold separately) which lets you run the central heating in winter and the electric element in summer (or when you just want warm towels without firing up the boiler).
A typical 1000mm chrome towel rail with a 600W element set to 60°C will reach full operating temperature in around 20–30 minutes from cold. The thermostat then cycles the element to maintain the target temperature, which uses far less power than running continuously.
Yes — the IP44 rating makes this element splashproof and safe for UK bathroom zone 2 (and zone 1 with additional protection). The power supply must be located outside zones 0, 1 and 2 per BS 7671.
Yes — the touch thermostatic control retains your last set temperature, so after a power cut or auto-off, you can resume at the same setting with a single tap.
The On/Off Touch Element simply switches on at full power and runs until you switch it off. The Touch Thermostatic Element lets you set a target temperature and intelligently cycles the element to maintain it, which is significantly more energy-efficient.
