For single pipe applications, it is advisable to use diversion
tees in the pipework, as this will assist in obtaining design
performance from the radiators. Although our radiators are
suitable for Microbore pipework, the back tappings make
them unsuitable for twin entry valves.

minimising expansion and contraction noise.
The neat nickel-plated plug and vent provide a watertight
joint, whilst complementing the superior finish.
To facilitate easy one off replacement, nickel-plated brass
extension pieces are also available, complete with sealing
washer, in 20mm, 30mm and 40mm options. Recommended
height from the floor to the base of the radiator is 150mm
minimum. This allows adequate airflow when the radiator
is placed on the bracket.
CAUTION
When designing for domestic systems we recommend that the
Stelrad radiators are only used in heating systems complying
with British Standard Code of Practice for Central Heating for
Domestic Premises BS EN 12828:2003 and BS EN 12831:2003.
Single feed, direct cylinders are not recommended as should
TWO COAT PAINT PROCESS
Each Stelrad radiator is subjected to a multi stage cleaning
process before the paint is applied. This involves several rinsing
stages, including an iron phosphate and demineralisation rinse.
The first coat of paint is applied by electrophoresis and the radiator
is then stoved and cooled. The second powder coat is applied and
the radiator goes through a final curing stage.
It is then allowed to cool, prior to packaging.

After installation of a new Stelrad radiator the central heating
system should be cleaned and flushed with cleaner to remove
existing contaminants, flux residue and other installation
debris which, if left, can cause damage to the new radiator.
Afterwards, treat the system with an inhibitor to ensure
long term protection against corrosion and limescale.
