Thermostatic LST Heating Element for Towel Radiators (Low Surface Temperature)

Transform your new or existing towel radiator into a source of safe, reliable, and controllable warmth. This Low Surface Temperature (LST) element is the essential safety upgrade for any bathroom, providing peace of mind without sacrificing comfort. Perfect for creating a dual-fuel system or a standalone electric towel rail, it ensures the surface temperature never exceeds the NHS-recommended safe-touch limit of 43∘C.

The Ultimate in Bathroom Safety

Standard heating elements can make a towel radiator dangerously hot to the touch. Our LST element eliminates this risk completely. It is engineered to guarantee the radiator's surface temperature remains at a safe and comfortable 43∘C. This makes it the number one choice for healthcare environments, care homes, schools, and any family bathroom where safety is the highest priority.

Intelligent, Efficient Heating

Why heat an empty room? The precision thermostat gives you complete control. It heats the internal fluid to the optimal temperature and then cycles power to maintain it, using significantly less energy than basic on/off elements. This smart operation not only keeps your towels perfectly warm but also helps reduce your electricity bills.

Year-Round Comfort with Dual Fuel

Don't let your towel radiator sit idle in the summer. By installing this element with a T-piece valve (sold separately), you can create a versatile dual-fuel system. Rely on your central heating during the colder months, then simply switch over to the electric element for cosy, dry towels on a cool summer morning, without having to heat the entire house.

Which Wattage Do I Need?

Choosing the correct power is crucial for efficient performance. Use this as a general guide, but always check your radiator manufacturer's recommendation if possible.

• 150W: Ideal for small towel rails and radiators (e.g., up to 700mm high).

• 300W: The perfect choice for medium-sized towel rails (e.g., 700mm - 1200mm high).

• 600W: Required for large towel rails and high-capacity bathroom radiators (e.g., over 1200mm high).
