Refer to Section 2 of these Instructions for radiator dimensions and heat outputs. They are designed to be integrated into low temperature heating systems using air source heat pumps, condensing oil, gas and biomass boilers, etc. Grant Afinia radiators can be used on either open vented or sealed central heating systems. Grant Afinia radiators can be used with both copper and plastic pipe. Where plastic pipe is used it must be of the oxygen barrier type and be the correct class (to BS7291-1) for the application concerned. On sealed systems, if plastic pipe is to be used, the installer must check with the plastic pipe manufacturer that the pipe to be used is suitable for the temperatures and pressures concerned. Plastic pipe must be Class S to BS7291-1. Each radiator is supplied with fixing brackets and an installation pack. Refer to Sections 1.3 and 1.4 for details. Vertical Radiators Each radiator is supplied with: · 2 x Wall mounting brackets · 1 x Installation pack (see below for contents) 1.4 WALL MOUNTING BRACKET IDENTIFICATION Horizontal Radiators Each of the three different heights of Horizontal radiator has its own wall mounting bracket. Each of these three brackets can be easily identified by either one, two or three small holes in the outward facing section of the bracket, as follows: · 430mm radiator - 3 holes · 580mm radiator - 2 holes · 680mm radiator - 1 hole Vertical Radiators 2 brackets are supplied with every model of vertical radiator. One secures the upper section of the radiator to the wall and the other secures the lower section. Refer to Figures 1-1 and 1-2. 1.2 STORAGE AND HANDLING Grant Afinia radiators should not be stacked in piles higher than 2.6m (total height). They must be stacked on top of each other on the larger side (storage flat=horizontal). Radiators must be stored inside in a dry and clean environment to prevent damage to the radiators and/or their packaging. Radiators must not be stacked on top of each other without any packaging in between them as this may result in damage. A nonslip plastic sheet should at least be used. Please ensure that Grant Afinia radiators are protected from dirt, rubble, etc. and it is suggested to wait for all other building and decorating works to be completed before finally fixing in the required location. Grant recommends that radiators are installed before the plastic film is completely removed to protect the paint finish.

To do this: 1. Carefully lay the radiator on a flat surface. 2. Remove the flow diverter baffle from the installation pack. 3. Identify which pipe connection option is being used (refer to Figure 3-3 and Section 3.4 for guidance) and identify the flow connection. 4. With the tapered end of the baffle facing towards the inside of the radiator flow connection, push the baffle through the flow port of the radiator and through the first section of the radiator until it is fitted securely into the connecting boss between the end of the first section and start of the second section of the radiator. Refer to Figure 3-2 for guidance. ! NOTE ! It may be necessary to remove burrs on the inside of the radiator flow connection with a half-round file (or similar) prior to fitting the flow diverter baffle. Ensure any swarf is removed before mounting the radiator. 5. Using a suitably sized socket attached to an extension bar, or similar, apply even pressure to the flat flange of the baffle, to ensure a water tight seal between the radiator and the baffle is made.

D E Figure 3-1: Radiator Clearances and Dimensions Section 3: Installation Figure 3-2: Fitting flow restrictor baffle Page 7 3.4 PIPE CONNECTIONS Grant Afinia radiators should be connected in one of three ways only. (Refer to Figure 3-3) · Top inlet to bottom outlet on opposite ends (TBOE) · Bottom inlet to bottom outlet on opposite ends (BBOE) · Top inlet to bottom outlet on same end (TBSE) The bushes supplied in the installation pack (see Section 1.3) must be fitted before mounting the radiator on the wall. ! CAUTION ! Fit the radiator vent to one of the bushes at the top of the radiator and the blanking plug to the remaining open bush after allowing for the location of the radiator valves (not supplied). Fit the radiator valve tails to the radiator bushes using only PTFE tape to seal. If any sealant is used great care must be taken to ensure that it does NOT come into contact with the sealing rings on the bushes as this may lead to water leaks. When tightening the tails, firmly grip the bush with a good fitting spanner or wrench to prevent it from turning. Recommended tightening torque is 30-40Nm. The 1" BSP connections on Grant Afinia radiators are left hand threaded on the left-hand end of the radiator (viewed from the front) and right hand threaded on the right-hand end. Fit the two 1"x½" bushes with the LEFT-HAND thread into the two connections at the LEFT-HAND end of the radiator. Similarly, fit the two 1"x½" bushes with the RIGHT-HAND thread into the two connections at the RIGHT-HAND end of the radiator. Take care to ensure that the correctly threaded bush is used as the threads can be easily damaged and cause leaks if forced or incorrectly fitted. The recommended tightening torque is 30-40Nm. ! CAUTION ! The four bushes, air vent and blanking plug are all supplied with their own sealing rings fitted. NO sealant of any kind, plumbers' hemp or PTFE tape should be used when fitting these items to the radiator. TBOE BBOE TBSE Figure 3-3: Pipe Connection Options Page 8 Section 3: Installation 3.5 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Refer to Figures 3-4, 3-5, 3-6 or 3-7 and Tables 3-2, 3-3 or 3-4, corresponding to the radiator being fitted, for the fixing hole dimensions relative to the outer edges of the radiator. Using a spirit level, mark the position of the fixing holes for the radiator mounting brackets on the wall so the radiator, once fitted, will be in the required position. Refer to Section 3.2 of these Instructions for minimum distances from floor and overhanging surfaces. ! WARNING ! Before drilling the fixing holes check for any pipework or electrical wiring within the wall. Drill the holes to take suitable wall fixings (not supplied). Securely fix the wall mounting brackets to the wall ensuring that they are the correct way up. All horizontal models of Grant Afinia radiators use two brackets to fix the unit to the wall; with the exception of the 15 panel variants of the 580mm and 680mm models, which use three brackets. Refer to Figures 3-4 to 3-6 for fixing positions. All vertical models of Grant Afinia radiator use two brackets to fix the unit to the wall, one at the top and one at the bottom. Refer to Section 1.4 for upper and lower bracket identification information. Refer to Figure 3-7 for fixing positions. After fixing the brackets, use a spirit level to check they are level and vertical before attempting to fit the radiator. Carefully lift the radiator and locate it on the mounting brackets. The brackets will pass through the gaps between the sections on the rear of the radiator and locate under the upper and lower waterways. Ensure the radiator is correctly located, level and fully supported on all brackets. Fit the radiator valves to their tails and connect the system pipework.

This must involve the use of a proprietary cleaner such as Sentinel X300 (new systems), Sentinel X400 (existing systems) or Fernox Restorer. After cleaning it is vitally important that all traces of the cleaner are thoroughly flushed from the system. After flushing, a suitable thermal fluid should be used, such as Grant HPC thermal fluid, specifically designed for use in air source heat pump installations. This provides long term protection against corrosion and scale as well as the risk of the freezing in the external section of the heating system (i.e. the flexible hoses, condenser and circulating pump within the heat pump casing) in the event of power failure during winter months. In order to avoid bacterial growth, due to the lower system operating temperatures in heat pump systems, a suitable biocide should be used in conjunction with the thermal fluid. As Grant HPC thermal fluid already contains a biocide, no separate biocide is required. The thermal fluid, and separate biocide when required, should be added to the system water when finally filling the heating system. The level of frost protection depends on the percentage concentration of thermal fluid used. Grant recommends using a thermal fluid concentration to give a MINIMUM level of frost protection of -10°C, and down to lower temperatures than this where local conditions are more severe. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the correct use of thermal fluids and biocides supplied with the products. For details of Sentinel products visit www.sentinel-solutions.net and for Fernox products visit fernox.com. ! NOTE ! Failure to follow the above will invalidate the product guarantee. Grant UK strongly recommends that a Grant Mag One in-line magnetic filter (or equivalent*) is fitted in the heating system pipework. This should be installed and regularly serviced in accordance with the filter manufacturers' instructions. *As measured by gauss. The Grant Mag One filter has a gauss value of 12000. Ensure that the system is filled and vented and that each radiator has also been vented. Operate the heating system until it reaches normal operating temperature. Check for leaks. Page 12 Section 4: Commissioning 5 FAULT FINDING Reduced or no output from radiator · Check boiler or Heat pump is operating correctly · Check flow and return connections to radiator are correct. Refer to Section 3.4. · Check small black plastic flow diverter baffle (supplied) is fitted. Refer to Section 3.3. · Check radiator is correctly vented · Check radiator valves are open · Check system is balanced, i.e. is the lockshield valve correctly set? 6 CARE AND USE Only clean the radiator when the surfaces are cold. Only use a moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the radiator. To remove more stubborn marks, use a neutral liquid detergent or soapy water. Do NOT use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning liquids, aerosols or polishing pastes. The heated air outlet at the top of the radiator can be periodically vacuumed clean. Do not place a shelf directly on top of the radiator. Refer to Section 3.2. ! WARNING ! IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION · Do NOT disconnect the radiator from the heating system (unless in response to an emergency or during maintenance work). · Do NOT use the radiator as part of an electrical circuit. · Do NOT allow children to play with the radiator vent valve. · Do NOT open radiator valves abruptly when it is detached from the heating system. · Some parts of the radiator may become hot and could cause burns. In particular, children, elderly and vulnerable people should be kept away from it unless under constant surveillance. · It is NOT advisable to empty the heating system for more than 15 days per year.
