Mounting Guidelines
Panel Radiator Installation
Both model 21 and 22 radiators can be wall or floor
mounted. All wall brackets must be secured to studs or
other supports of sufficient strength for panel radiator
weight. Radiators with a length of 71
"
or less require 2
brackets (1 set); lengths 79” or larger require 2 sets.
Note: Do not attempt to mount radiators soley to sheet
rock or similar material.

Model 21 and 22: Wall Mounting
Each bracket is supplied with a slotted plastic locating
clip. Position brackets evenly along the radiator and at
least 4
"
in from either side for aesthetic reasons. The
bottom of the radiator rests 5/8
"
above the bottom edge
of the bracket. The radiator wall clearance can be set at
1-9/16
"
or 2-1/16
"
depending on the orientation of the
plastic locating clips. Piping connections are located at
1-3/16
"
return and 3-3/16” (supply) in from the valve side
of the radiator. The piping wall offset is 3-9/16
"
or 4-1/16
"
for both Model 21 and 22 radiators. For left hand
radiators, measure these dimensions from the left side.
See Fig. 8 and 9 for details.
Mount the brackets to studs or other wall supports
capable of carrying the load of the full radiator (see
Tables 1 & 2). Use at least 2 screws per bracket. Pull the
T-shaped plastic securing plate forward and slide the top
holder upward.
Insert the radiator with the bottom edge into the locating
clip at the bottom of the bracket. Now slide the top
bracket down to secure the radiator in place. Refer to the
installation instructions included with the brackets for
details.
Model 21 and 22: Floor Mounting
Floor brackets permit placement of Model 21 and 22
radiators in front of tall windows or where wall mounting
is not an option. These brackets include a floor pedestal
mount, radiator support, channel section and tightening
assembly. The top grille of the radiator must be removed
to install the channel section and tightening assembly.
Radiators are adjustable in height from 4” to 8” bottom
clearance.
