Radiator Installation Manual

As indicated in the specification chart on page 3, Pensotti steel panel radiators are double panel and
available in three different heights; 12”, 20”, and 24”, each includes multiple lengths and heat outputs.
Radiators have a light eggshell white epoxy coated finish which, if desired, can be repainted by an
automobile refinishing professional to a color of your choice.
Each radiator is manufactured with six ½” BSP threaded connections, as shown in the picture on the
previous page, one of which has a factory installed integral thermostatic valve/adjustable flow-setter,
another, a manual air vent, two with drain plugs and a bottom supply and return connection with factory
installed shipping plugs. Many different piping configurations are possible, examples of which will be
shown later in this manual.
Each radiator comes standard with two ¾” male EK x ½” male BSP O-Ring adapters, Pensotti Snap-Grip
mounting brackets and a 10 YEAR warranty from the date of installation. Warranty protects the original
purchaser from manufacturing defects resulting from faulty materials and/or factory workmanship.
Installation Requirements
Pensotti steel panel radiators are designed to be installed in closed hydronic heating systems, with a
maximum operating temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum operating pressure of 145
pounds.
If the heating system includes antifreeze the proper Ph must be maintained. High acidity will damage the
radiator and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
If radiators are to be installed into an existing heating system, thorough flushing of the boiler and
distribution system is required. Continue flushing the system with clean water until it runs clear and
debris free for several minutes. For severely dirty systems, a quality cleanser may be necessary, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using these products.
