Questions
How much heat does it give?
At ΔT50 Carron rates the Colossus rails from 163W (558 BTU) to 288W (985 BTU), depending on size and mounting. The output of each option is in the sizes table.
Can it run on electricity?
Carron describes the Colossus rails as dual fuel compatible, so a heating element can be added to use them outside the heating season.
Will the copper finish tarnish?
Carron supplies its copper-plated rails un-lacquered: leave them to tarnish naturally or keep them bright with a metal polish.
Is there a guarantee?
Carron gives the Colossus rails a 5 year guarantee.
