Rated 4 out of 5 by from Heater element Easy to install and it works. I didn't want thermostatic control as its just for a towel rail. Good price and easy availability

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Third time lucky ???? The request from Screwfix to review this (Tesla) element reminded me why I had needed to fit it. The previous one gave up after a couple of months and I have been making do without it. That previous one replaced another that had lasted a few months also. Certainly the most unreliable product that I have ever received from Screwfix. If this one gives up, I'll have my money back and go somewhere else for a more reliable (hopefully) brand.

Can the element be fitted to the top of a towel rail by removing the plug?

Asked by: Scatter
Possibly it can be fitted at the top physically but not advisable as heat travels UP and cold travels down so the bottom of the towel rail will NEVER get hot. Also there will be no convection current to keep the element's temperature stable or within acceptable limits. If you are thinking it would be easier to fit or replace at the top then it will be a total waste of time and the element will probably overheat and burn out or short circuit.
