5.1 Controlli pre-installazione

  • Ensure the chosen installation location has adequate wall strength to support the radiator.
  • Verify that the plumbing connections (for central heating) or electrical supply (for electric operation) are correctly positioned and accessible.
  • Unpack all components and check against the "Package Contents" list.

5.2 Montaggio del radiatore

  1. Marcatura dei fori di perforazione: Refer to the technical drawing (Figure 3) and the provided mounting template (if applicable) to mark the positions for the wall brackets on your wall. Ensure the marks are level and correctly spaced for the radiator's connections.
  2. Perforazione: Drill holes at the marked positions using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type. Insert the wall plugs into the drilled holes. Note: Deep wall plugs are not suitable for drywall installation.
  3. Fissaggio delle staffe: Fissare le staffe alla parete utilizzando le viti in dotazione. Assicurarsi che siano saldamente fissate.
  4. Posizionamento del radiatore: Carefully lift the radiator and position it onto the installed wall brackets. Ensure it sits securely.
  5. Connecting Plumbing (Central Heating): Connect the radiator to your central heating system's flow and return pipes. Use appropriate sealing materials (e.g., PTFE tape) to ensure watertight connections.
  6. Installing Bleed Valve and Blanking Plug: Screw the 1/2 inch bleed valve into the top connection point and the 1/2 inch blanking plug into the bottom connection point on the radiator. Tighten securely.
  7. Electric Operation (Optional): If operating electrically, install a suitable electric heating element (not included) into one of the bottom connections, following the element manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all electrical work is done by a qualified electrician.

  2. Use the bleed valve at the top of the radiator to release any trapped air until water starts to emerge. Close the bleed valve.
  3. Controllare che tutti i collegamenti non presentino perdite.
  4. The radiator will now heat up as part of your central heating system.

6.2 Electric Operation (with heating element)

  1. Ensure the radiator is filled with the appropriate heat transfer fluid (if required by the heating element manufacturer) and the heating element is correctly installed.
  2. Bleed any air from the radiator as described for central heating.
  3. Connect the heating element to the electrical supply according to the manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes.
  4. Operate the radiator using the controls on the electric heating element.
