Oil heating/ towel rail question

[plumb1]

Easy for those in the know but can someone advise me whether I can have a water filled bathroom towel radiator with il central heating. I am sure this is the case and think this is what is in the existing radiator atm. I assume you can only get electric and water filled towel radiators?

Come again? You want what?

I wondered too when I approved the post......

You can buy towel Warner's that connect to a conventional heating system ie heated via a boiler that has a immersion element incorporated in the radiator valve for use in the summer when you have the heating off.

if that's what you mean?

I read the OP as asking can a water filled type towel rail be connected to an oil fired heating system.
Answer is, yes, any fuel type (gas or oil or solid fuel etc) that works a water filled heating system can heat a water filled towel radiator.

I try to learn the lingo.
I find a lot of people are confused about radiators & many think each fuel type requires specific radiators. I get some saying about the oil going around their rads.
Used to see ads in my local paper selling second hand radiators of various sizes " suitable for solid fuel heating " or " for oil heating ". :smile:

Thanks to those who have offered a useful response to my question and yes some people do get confused to know what a bathroom towel radiator needs to be used with different types of heating.
For those who have offered a sarcastic and rude response, maybe you need to remember you are on a forum and the whole point of a forum is to help people out on their plumbing issues, not to waste peples time reading useless responses to genuine questions!

There were no rude or sarcastic posts . Merely ones trying to work out what your op meant.

Wind your neck in and change the attitude or you'll get no help at all.

There are ways and means of determining what I meant and would prefer no reply rather than sarcastic ones. Conversation closed on this matter please!

I often wonder how these people would react if they had to pay for the free advice they seek and nearly always receive from pros on this and other forums

I don't think there was rude or sarcastic remarks made up until you accused some of us of exactly that. I know I replied to your post with a concise answer, - that was after I reread your OP a few times to try to understand your wording. Forums tend to have humour with helpful facts. You should take it on the chin.

Your attitude stinks.
