The Element
The Talus digital element gives you flexibility and control over your heating system. The thermostatic heating system allows the radiator temperature range to be selected from 40-65 degrees, in 5 degree increments. The LED lights indicate the temperature setting, for at-a-glance checking.
Operation:When set to Comfort mode, the thermostat keeps the internal temperature of the radiator or towel rail at the value set by you (using the + and – buttons). Boost mode can be used to increase the element to the maximum temperature for a period of 2 hours (not exceeding 65°C), at the end of the Boost the element returns to Comfort mode.
There are also 2 different Timer modes: 12 hour and 24 hour. When set to these modes, the element will use Boost for 2 hours, then return to Comfort mode for either 10 or 22 hours – depending on your selection – after this time, the element will use Boost again. This sequence is repeated endlessly. The final operation mode is Standby/Antifreeze. In this mode the element will not operate (meaning it won’t provide any heat to the radiator or towel rail) unless the temperature drops below 10°C, where it will use the antifreeze mode to activate the element in order to prevent any internal liquid from freezing.
Full Installation Instructions and User Guide will be provided with the element.
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.
- Δ30 = Low temperature systems e.g heat pumps.
Watts & BTUs (British Thermal Units) Explained
What is a Watt?
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

Brilliant. Easy to set. Can be used separately from the boiler, so useful in chillier weather when the boiler isn't set for heating.
