Electric Towel Warmer question
Comments (2)That is a "Bad Idea". Crazy Talk. In the UK you will see water run towel warmers in the shower. There is a body dryer with approval for showers but an Electric warmer in the shower is a little on the "Unsafe Side". JW...See MoreEnclosed Electric Towel Warmer?
Comments (10)Does it really need to be enclosed? Some of them are really good looking, it would be almost a shame to hide them. The cab would make it harder to build, and less likely to be used in day to day life. But if you really have to hide it, I think what you need to find is a heater with a maximum heat that's a known quantity. IIRC, many have a preset max around 110 degrees because anything higher could make a towel stored there [as in, not used for several weeks] hot enough to burn human skin. If the heater can't get higher than 110, the inside of the cab can't either. If all the materials are capable of constant exposure to that heat, you should be fine. Still, I'd allow at least a foot of space in front of the towels for air circulation, and a similar gap bottom and top to let the warm air create a chimney effect. But this sort of 'off label' adaptation could be problematic in all sorts of ways-- bet your insurance company wouldn't be thrilled, for instance. So I'd get a big, whole room heater size, display it proudly, and put it on a timer so it ran for a couple hours before and after your normal shower time....See Morethermique towel warmer
Comments (3)Hi Daninny, yeah, I just noticed they made some major changes to their website. I would shoot them an email or call, I know they offered all of these units just recently. The pricing was always the cheapest. Just an idea. Good Luck...See MoreRuntal towel warmer, techncal question
Comments (5)In your case when you are installing a 1/2" S&R radiator on a 3/4" series loop, a monoflo tee system should be used. Similar to a hydronic kickspace heater, many pros will use 2 - 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 tees to connect. The reducing tees create a throttling effect taking the 3/4" flow and diverting 1/2 to the branch (Side) and up to the radiator and the rest through to the other side where it joins the return of the radiator and increasing back up to 3/4" (Like a bypass) When access is available and depending on supply and return distance of the radiator between TÂs, some will add a ½" SS ball valve to balance flow by closing that which will force more through the radiator....See Moredebbiejoy_ca
