Frequently asked questions about the Heating category
Heating — what is included in the Heating category on Sitypro.com?
Heating covers heating and hot water products: radiators (aluminium, bimetal), boilers, water heaters, towel rails, smoke pipes and related accessories. Sitypro.com lists components for central and local heating plus control and installation accessories.
What radiator types are in the Radiators section and how do aluminium and bimetal differ?
Radiators include aluminium and bimetal models: aluminium is lightweight and provides fast heat response, suited to clean closed systems; bimetal has a steel core, tolerates higher pressure and aggressive water. Choose bimetal for communal systems and aluminium for private closed systems.
How to choose a boiler for a private house — gas, electric or solid fuel?
Choose by fuel availability and heating needs: electric boilers are simple where gas is absent; solid fuel (stove/wood pellet) systems suit autonomous heating; gas boilers are efficient if mains gas is available. Calculate required heating power for your property first.
What water heater capacities are available and which suit a 3–4 person family?
Available capacities range from 50 to 150+ litres, including Thermex and Ariston models. For a 3–4 person household 80–100 L is usually sufficient; 120–150 L for higher demand. Check the heating element power (typically 1.2–2 kW).
How do towel rail models (TERMINUS, ROSELA, VARMIKO) differ in size and connections?
TERMINUS, ROSELA and VARMIKO vary in sizes like 500x600, 500x700 or 600x600 mm and have connections of 1" or 3/4". Choose based on installation space, straight or corner connection, and finish (chrome or painted).
What smoke pipes and accessories are available for stoves and fireplaces and what diameters exist?
The range includes single‑wall pipes and pipes with dampers, common diameters such as 180 mm and kits up to 200 mm/10 m. Accessories include bends, flanges, dampers and fixings for stoves and fireplaces.
What underfloor heating collectors and distribution cabinets are available?
The catalogue includes underfloor heating collectors with 4–5 outlets (e.g. N75040A, N75050A) and distribution cabinets sized 565x575x110 mm. Sets include valves, gauges and mounting hardware for straightforward installation.
What accessories are needed to install an aluminium radiator — brackets, nipples, air vent?
You need radiator brackets (ALUM.RADIAATORI KANDUR), nipples (AL.RAD.NIPPEL TOP‑R) and an air vent/bleed cap (ÕHUTUSKORK 3/4). Also use a 1x3/4 connection kit for plumbing connections to the system.
How do Thermex ID SHADOW WIFI boilers differ by capacity and mounting (vertical/horizontal)?
Thermex ID SHADOW WIFI is available in 50–80 L capacities and in vertical and horizontal layouts (e.g. 80 L horizontal black). Vertical units fit narrow spaces; horizontal units suit low niches; both versions in this series support Wi‑Fi control.
What factors when choosing a SHARK BIMETAL 500 radiator (sections, height, colour)?
Choose the number of sections (e.g. 4 or 12) for required heat output, check height and mounting distances; colour is typically white (VALGE). Also procure the correct mounting brackets and connection kits for this model.
