Thermogroup | Swivel Heated Towel Rail 240V 40W | Polished Stainless Steel
The Thermogroup SV41 is a 240V electric heated towel rail with four independently swivelling bars, made from polished stainless steel. The SV41 draws 40W to warm and dry towels, and carries an IP55 rating for bathrooms and other wet areas. It measures 595mm wide by 540mm high, projects 104mm from the wall, and connects through exposed or concealed wiring.
Damp towels left on a hook remain wet throughout the day and develop a musty odour in an enclosed bathroom. In an ensuite or apartment, the available wall space for a larger rail is limited. Renovations also arrive with the electrical wiring already positioned, so the rail must accommodate whatever sits behind the wall. The Thermogroup SV41 operates four swivelling bars for circulation, occupies a compact 595 by 540mm footprint, and accommodates exposed or concealed wiring.
Renovators and electricians want a towel rail that installs cleanly and lasts throughout a bathroom's lifespan. The SV41 connects either concealed for a flush finish or exposed with the 1.8m lead to a nearby connection point, suiting new construction and retrofits. At 40W it contributes little to a power bill while keeping towels dry and warmed. The polished stainless steel finish tolerates a humid bathroom environment and is supported by a 10-year warranty.
Features
- Four swivel bars — the SV41 has four bars that rotate independently, so towels can be spread for better airflow and faster drying.
- 40W heat output — the rail draws 40W of constant gentle heat, enough to warm and dry towels without a high running cost.
- Polished stainless steel — the stainless steel body suits a bathroom setting and resists the humidity of a wet area.
- IP55 rated — the SV41 is rated IP55 for use in bathrooms and wet areas, within the required wiring zones.
- 240V hardwired or plug-in — the rail connects to 240V mains through concealed hardwired or exposed plug-in wiring.
- Exposed or concealed wiring — bottom entry supports concealed wiring for a flush look or exposed wiring using the supplied lead.
- 1.8m power lead — a 1.8m lead runs from the rail to the connection point, giving the electrician room to reach a switch or outlet.
- Compact footprint — at 595mm wide and 540mm high, the SV41 fits ensuites, apartments, and smaller bathroom walls.
- Projects 104mm from wall — the rail sits 104mm proud of the finished wall, keeping towels clear of the surface for airflow.
- 10-year warranty — Thermogroup backs the SV41 with a 10-year warranty for domestic and commercial use against manufacturing defects.
- Constant-heat rail — the rail heats whenever it is powered and has no built-in thermostat or timer, so a switch or timer is wired separately.
- Requires licensed installation — as a 240V wet-area appliance, this rail must be installed and connected by a licensed electrician.
Where to use
- Main bathrooms — warm and dry bath and hand towels in a family bathroom through the day.
- Ensuites and powder rooms — the SV41 suits compact ensuites where a small heated rail fits the available wall.
- Apartments and units — a low-wattage rail for apartment bathrooms where running cost and space both matter.
- Bathroom renovations — the SV41 wires into new or existing bathroom circuits during a renovation or refit.
- Guest and rental bathrooms — keeps towels dry and warm for guests in short-stay and rental properties.
- Laundries and mudrooms — mount the rail to dry hand towels and small items in a laundry or mudroom.
- Wet-area walls — the IP55 rating allows installation on suitable bathroom walls within the required wiring zones.
The Thermogroup SV41 is a 240V wet-area appliance and must be installed by a licensed electrician within the bathroom wiring zones set by the wiring rules. It is a constant-heat rail with no built-in timer, so a separate switch or timer controls when it runs. The rail is not a room heater and is sized to warm and dry towels, not to heat the space.
