If it needs to heat the bathroom on its own, check its output against a BTU calculator for the room. Kartell quote the output at Δt60, a standard test temperature; many modern boilers, and especially heat pumps, run cooler than that, so the heat you actually get may be lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetro is supplied with everything needed to fix it to the wall, and is pressure tested up to 7.8 bar.
