Kartell K-Rail 22mm Straight Heated Ladder Towel Rail - Brass

A classic flat ladder towel rail in brushed brass, available across a wide range of sizes to suit bathrooms and en-suites of most dimensions. The K-Rail uses 22mm-diameter horizontal cross-tubes on a straight profile — a format that works with traditional and contemporary bathroom schemes equally well, and that holds towels securely without bulk. Compatible with central heating, dual-fuel, and electric-only systems, making it a practical choice across new-build, retrofit, and rental projects where the final heating configuration may not be fixed at point of specification. The required accessories vary by system type — see below.

Max working pressure 7 bar — suitable for sealed and open-vented central heating systems within normal domestic operating parameters. Pipe centres at 64–86mm from wall; confirm clearance before fixing, particularly in retrofit situations where existing pipe positions are fixed. Wall brackets, plugs, and vents are supplied — substrate anchoring should be selected to suit the wall type given the loaded weight of the rail. Manufactured to BS EN ISO 9001. Height and width selection should account for towel load and heat output requirement; BTU figures per variant: 500 x 800 = 1032 BTU 500 x 1200 = 1881 BTU 500 x 1600 = 2881 BTU For Homeowners & Carers The K-Rail is a heated towel rail that can run off your central heating, off an electric element, or both — which means you can keep it warm in summer when the heating is off. The flat horizontal bars hold towels flat and are easy to wipe clean. It comes with the fixings needed to attach it to the wall, but you'll need a plumber or electrician to connect it depending on your chosen setup — valves or heating elements are sold separately and need to be matched to how you intend to run it.
