Option 1 - I want to use this towel rail as Dual Fuel - What Parts do I need?

1.A - Dual Fuel Pipe work coming out from the WALL

When your pipe work is coming out from the wall, there are 3 possible ways to achieve a dual fuel towel rail connection. 1st option below is the best solution in terms of ease of installation and the overall look once the connection is final. This is achieved by using a set of radiator valves specifically designed for dual fuel towel rails. These valves have T pipes built-in allowing elements to be inserted directly below, while the pipe work outlet is facing to back wall.

Usually on dual fuel towel rails, pipe work need to be arranged wider than the towel rail. However with these special valves, pipe work can be in line with the towel rail as if it is a straight forward central heating connection only.

Type of Use: Dual Fuel (Central Heating and Electric)
Pipe Work: Pipes coming out of the wall

A set of dual fuel corner valves (DFCC)
Matching heating element

With this option you will not require any T pipes and whole connection will be a lot more symmetrical as pipe work and valves are aligned perfectly with towel rail's vertical tubes.
