Your ThermaSkirt system must be cleansed and protected by a corrosion inhibitor suitable for alluminium
radiators, as required by BS 7593:2006 ‘Code of Practice for treatment of water in domestic hot central heating
systems’. DiscreteHeat recommends our own TS3 Cleanser and TS5 Inhibitor or Scalemaster CM5 or CM10.
FAILURE TO PROTECT YOUR SYSTEM WILL INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY
DO
Carefully check you have all the parts required by your design systems before you start cutting.
DO
Check all skirting measurements twice before cutting: see diagram on page 2 (unless provided pre-cut).
DO
Ensure that you use the templates (pages 9 - 12) to get your pipes correctly positioned.
DON’T
Forget to check the orientation and quantity of retaining clips for each connection and fitting before you insert into skirting - it varies!
DON’T
Forget that the FEED and RETURN pipes need to be tight to the wall to ensure your covers fit correctly.
DON’T
Forget that aluminium expands (by about 1mm per metre), so make sure the ends of the skirting are not hard up against
any fixed features.
