Any experience?
Screwfix offer a raft of towel rails, some of which claim dual fuel function.
With wet underfloor heating there is a plan to use electric towel rails (timer controlled). Tempting to route the floor heating return pipe through a modest sized rail and save the electricity during the winter months.
Why not put the towel rads on their own zone?
Hmm.. Lots of extra piping as two rads are at the ends of the house. Might need to steal a manifold outlet as the system is ordered. Hmm..

I've never found a need for one. If towels aren't dry by next day they're folded up too much or excessively wetted, either of which is trivial to avoid.

Wouldn't it be better to put it on the flow side rather than the return? It'll be a very tepid radiator otherwise I would have thought.

You don't share a bathroom with a wife?:-)
I don't know the expected return temperature. There can't be much drop across the circuits as the layouts are not spiral and the simple zig/zag would lead to a noticeable differential across the rooms.
I am beginning to think this is a step too far. Our current set up is for the boiler to bypass through the bathroom radiators so we are a bit spoiled.
It's not something we've ever found a challenge, it's trivial after all.
