INSTALLATION
General
Refer to the layout (BL) drawing for panel
arrangement. Panels can be installed before or after a
ceiling is installed. When two or more panels are to be
installed in a run, then pipework is interconnected
using 15mm straight couplings or expansion hoses
provided.
Fitting
1.
Prepare suitable fixings to accept the radiant
panels. Refer to Diagrams 3 and 4 for fixing
positions.
2.
Suspend the panel and level with the
suspended ceiling grid. Note that panels can be
suspended by one of the following options
(refer to Diagram 4.)
Drops rods fixed directly to the panel
Suspension wires directly to the panel
Directly onto the ceiling grid
3.
If the panel is to be suspended directly by the
ceiling grid then additional support should be
provided by safety wires, fitted on diagonally
opposite corners.
4.
If two or more panels are to be installed in a run
then fit the pipe couplings to the first panel.
Suspend the second panel level to the first
panel and engage the pipes of both panels into
the couplings, using compression nuts and
olives. Check that all panels are located
correctly and in a straight line before tightening
joints. Tighten all joints by hand then tighten
further approximately 1¼ turns. Fit the panel
joint strip using panel joint clips and M5 nuts
provided (Refer to Diagram 6).
5.
Expansion panels should be fitted every 6m of
straight panel run, and are supplied with
expansion hoses fitted in place of the straight
couplings. Note that the hoses will require
pre-bending prior to fitting. (Refer to Diagram 7)
6.
Ensure that panels are interconnected correctly.
EC, EH and EJ panels are positioned at the
connection end (flow and return) of panel run,
whereas EB panels are positioned at the
opposite end. EA and EE panels are used at
intermediate positions. ED panels are single
(stand-alone) panels. (Refer to Diagram 2).
7.
Refer to Pipework Connections for connecting
the panels to the mains.
8.
Refit the insulation and leave the protective film
on the radiating surface until installation and
commissioning is complete.
Pipework connections
1.
Connection to the mains is made via EC, ED,
EH and EJ panels. Panels have Ø15mm copper
tube tails formed upwards for connection from
above. Flow and return connections are
interchangeable.
2.
The installer must provide suitable fittings to
connect the panels. Flexible hoses are
recommended to allow for rapid installation
and flexibility.
3.
Local isolating and regulating valves are
recommended, as well as drains, vents
and strainers.
