    You should get everything you need to do the job with regards to fixing to rad,but it will have to be wired safely.

    I hope your not planning on it being the only heating in the bathroom.

    It should include everything you need to install. If you get a chance, try and physically look at one before buying. A friend had one which looked great, but soon started rusting and turned into a right eyesore due to a poor quality finish. That was chrome though, not matte black, so not sure if this would help?

    Think that you'll find that running a bathroom rad/towel rail from the DHW circuit now contravenes Doc J or some energy efficiency paper. We have been putting them back onto the main CH circuit where we find them

    Cant say for certain but we've been told if we find it alter it. That was going back 2 years ago when the green deal kicked in maybe more, you know how time flys.

    It's perfectly ok to install a separate towel rail circuit with the connections surface in the a/cupboard, doc j is flues, combustion etc? Do you mean part L? They are not run off DHW?! Simply off the primary's eg before zone valves, this is more economical then having an element, when the DHW is in demand the towel rail gets hot, gate valves needed to balance of course, due to cyl needing a balancing valve on return wasted heat trickles the auto bypass, with my method there's less resistance as your towel gets hot the same time as you programmed your HW, amazing
