Use and Care Manual

22
Pensotti recommends their panel radiators be connected to the piping system through the bottom supply
and return connections. This guarantees complete water flow through the radiator and proper operation of
the flow-setter and thermostatic valve.
Should it be impossible or impractical to use bottom connections, other piping configurations are possible
using the side connections. Extreme care must be used to assure proper water flow and flow-setter and
thermostatic valve operation. Improper installation will result in poor system performance, reduced or no
radiator Btu output, or lack of temperature control.
Pensotti isolation and diverter valves, both straight and angle, fit the supply and return connections on the
bottom of the radiator only.
Alternate Piping Arrangement Examples
System designer and/or installer are responsible to determine whether proper radiator and/or system
operation will result using alternate piping arrangements. Examples are provided for illustrative purposes
only!
