Product description
The Bard & Brazier D-Rail DRF180/50 is a floor mounted 9 bar towel rail measuring 1805 x 510mm, pared right back to flat horizontal bars, with the valves built into the rail itself so there is no visible pipework or valve head at the wall. It is available in 12 hand-applied finishes and as a hydronic, sealed electric or dual fuel rail, with a heat output of 1,290 Btu/h (378W).
What the price covers: The price shown is for one complete towel rail in the size, fuel type and finish selected, including its integrated valves. If you need more than one rail, set the quantity before adding to your basket — each rail is priced individually.
Home of Clay is a Bard & Brazier stockist. Every rail is made by hand to order at their factory in Wolverhampton, and our team at the Newcastle-under-Lyme showroom in Staffordshire can help you choose the size, finish and fuel type.
Where to use the DRF180/50
The D-Rail looks clean, architectural and very modern — at home in a minimalist bathroom, a wet room or a warehouse-style space. A 510mm width sits comfortably on most bathroom walls, beside a basin or opposite the shower. The 1805mm height makes it a full-height rail with room for several towels and bath sheets. Being floor mounted the legs carry the weight and the pipes come up from the floor, which suits stud walls, tiled panels and period bathrooms with timber floors.
At 1,290 Btu/h (378W) the DRF180/50 warms towels well and puts real background heat into an average-sized bathroom or en-suite. In a large or poorly insulated room, treat it as a supplement to the main heating.
Hydronic, electric or dual fuel
Hydronic connects to your central heating (closed system) or hot water (open system) and works when the heating is on. Sealed electric uses an element heating liquid sealed inside the rail and is hardwired to a fused spur, so it works independently all year round. Dual fuel is plumbed in and also has an element, so it runs on the heating in winter and on electricity in summer. Electric elements are fitted right hand.
Valves
Every hydronic and dual fuel D-Rail is supplied with Bard & Brazier's discreet integrated inline valves, so you do not need to order valves separately and nothing interrupts the clean lines at the wall.

Key features
- Integrated valves — D-Rail valves are built into the bars and sit almost out of sight, so no separate valves are needed on hydronic and dual fuel models.
- Flat D-section bars — Wide, flat bars hold a folded towel neatly and give the rail its crisp horizontal lines.
- Handmade in England — Built individually by hand in Wolverhampton from high-quality milled brass.
- Silver soldered joints — Bard & Brazier use silver solder exclusively for cleaner, stronger joints.
- Pressure tested three times — Each rail is tested at 6 bar after construction, after polishing and again before packing.
