Myson has announced that its fan convectors are now suitable for low temperature heating systems as well as higher hot water systems, following recent modifications to the products. The announcement was reported by the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE) on 12 December 20251.
The Kickspace plinth heater now begins operation at a minimum water temperature of around 34°C, reduced from the previous 43°C1. The unit is designed to fit under kitchen units, where wall space is often taken up by cabinetry, and delivers heat through a high surface area heat exchanger1. Kickspace is also available in electric and low voltage options, and the Kickspace Duo Eco combines hydronic and electric operation with the ability to switch between central heating and electric modes1.
The wall mounted Hi Line RC and Lo Line RC fan convectors can operate with a minimum system temperature of around 32°C1. The Hi Line range is designed to be mounted in the space above a door, while the Lo Line is described as suited to occasionally used areas such as conservatories or attics where wall space is limited, connecting to an existing central heating system1.
"Thanks to recent modifications Myson has announced that its fan convectors are now suitable for low temperature heating systems as well as higher hot water systems."
The fan convectors join other Myson products listed as suitable for low temperature heating, including vertical and horizontal panel radiators, fan assisted radiators, iVector fan convectors, underfloor heating and towel warmers1. Myson is an Industrial Associate of CIPHE1.

Why it matters for households
The flow temperature a heating system runs at affects how efficiently it converts energy into heat, and it is central to how a home is heated after a boiler is replaced. A heat pump typically runs at lower flow temperatures than a gas boiler, which means existing radiators and emitters sometimes need to be enlarged or replaced to deliver enough heat. Emitters that work at lower water temperatures widen the pool of options for a property where space is tight, such as a kitchen with no spare wall for a conventional radiator, or a conservatory that needs rapid warmth without a large panel.
For a household, the practical point is that the choice of emitter shapes what a heating system design can achieve, and whether a property can run at the lower temperatures that suit heat pumps and other low temperature sources. The minimum temperatures quoted here, around 32°C and 34°C, sit within the range that air to water heat pumps can supply, though the source does not state what flow temperature any particular installation would need. CIPHE does not report how the modifications were made, whether output figures changed, or what the products cost.
