Pipe masking set specially for 50mm pipe connections - to cover the exit point for your valves from the wall and into the back of your radiator. Gives the perfect finish with a flat plate for the wall and matching pipes. These can be seen in some of the lifestyle shots of Terma radiators - so this is the accessory needed to achieve that look. Pipes are 18mm in diameter (16.5mm internal diameter) so will sleeve over 15, 10 or 8 mm diameter copper pipework. Chrome in colour.
Delta (Δ) Ratings Explained
What is a Delta (Δ) Rating?
When discussing heat outputs, the Delta rating is the difference between the temperature of the water inside the heating system and the desired temperature of the room.
What does the value represent?
In simple terms, this value is about heat loss. Heating a room only works, if the radiator output exceeds the heat loss of the room.
We use this calculation to make it easy to choose a radiator that will have a heat output that exceeds the heat loss of the room when connected to your heating system type.
If you don't know the room heat loss, you can use our calculator to find out.
What Delta Rating should I use?
Δ50 = Gas boilers before 2005 / Oil boilers before 2007.
Δ40 = Gas boilers after 2005 / Oil boilers after 2007.
Watts are our main unit of energy/power in the UK, commonly associated with lightbulbs and Home Energy performance certificates (EPCs).
What is a BTU?
BTUs are the unit of measurement used to portray a radiators heat output and a rooms heating requirement. 1 Watt is equal to 3.41 BTUs.
Why are they important?
We buy radiators to heat our homes, right? So, we need a way of knowing if a radiator is powerful enough to heat the room that we are shopping for - Watts and BTUs provide us with a value that makes its easier to compare radiators and ultimately choose the right one for our heating requirement.
Need help figuring out how much heat your room needs?
Our fast and easy-to-use BTU calculator can help you:
Work out a heating requirement value (in BTUs & Watts) for your room
Show you in-stock radiator recommendations that can fulfil this heat requirement
