Towel Warmer Brochure

Electric Programmable Controller (optional) may be
used with all direct wire electric Runtal Towel Radiators and provides
effi cient instant zoning and convenient ON/OFF operation. The
Programmable Controller is designed to be installed into a standard
double gang electrical box. Use the Programmable Controller to
provide a warm bathroom fi rst thing in the morning; to avoid heating
the entire house in the spring and fall; and to provide comfortable
heat to meet everyone’s daily routine.
Shut-off controls (available in both straight and angle confi gurations)
Shut-off valves allow the advantage of isolating the towel radiators from
the rest of the system.
Control valves (available in both straight and angle confi gurations)
A control valve allows you to control the temperature of the hydronic
towel radiator. Valves B&C and E&F match in design and fi nish and
can be used together.
Thermostat control By adding the thermostatic sensor to the control
valve, the temperature is maintained automatically rather than manually.
Hydronic Controls (optional)

Electric Models: Electric models are self-contained and operate
off of regular 120 Volt current. They may be plugged in or direct
wired. Omnipanel and Heritage Omnipanel models are offered with
a choice of no controls or with an off/lo/med/hi dial. The other
models are offered with a digital control that consists of off/lo/med/
hi and timer on hi for 3 hours.
Electric models offer the advantage of four-season usage and will
provide luxurious radiant heat to warm you, your bathroom and
your towels whether it’s the dead of winter or just a raw day.
Electric models offer the flexibility of temperature settings: low for
warming towels and high for room heating.
Electric models may be used as a sole source of heat for a room.
Larger towel radiators (900 Watts) will heat an entire room up to
150 square feet, but electric models typically are used in conjunction
with another heat source to provide the boost needed for a specific
room such as a bathroom.
Hydronic Models: Hydronic models operate in conjunction with
a closed loop forced hot-water heating system and typically operate
only during the period that the central heating system is operational.
Hydronic towel radiators are most often used as the main source of heat
for a room (particularly bathrooms, kitchens, entryways and laundry
rooms) and proper sizing is a priority. Depending on the region of the
country anywhere from 25 BTUH per square foot (Seattle) to 40 BTUH
per square foot (Boston) is required. For a more accurate heat loss value,
a qualified heating specialist can be consulted.
