1.1 DESCRiptiOn

The Grant Afinia aluminium radiator range consists of :
• 

Horizontal radiators available in three different heights – 

430mm, 580mm and 680mm

• 

Vertical radiators available in two different heights -1842mm 

and 2042mm.

Refer to Section 2 of these Instructions for radiator dimensions 

and heat outputs.
They are designed to be integrated into low temperature heating 

systems using air source heat pumps, condensing oil, gas and 

biomass boilers, etc. Grant Afinia radiators can be used on either 

open vented or sealed central heating systems. 
Grant Afinia radiators can be used with both copper and plastic 

pipe. Where plastic pipe is used it must be of the oxygen barrier 

type and be the correct class (to BS7291-1) for the application 

concerned. 
On sealed systems, if plastic pipe is to be used, the installer must 

check with the plastic pipe manufacturer that the pipe to be used 

is suitable for the temperatures and pressures concerned. Plastic 

pipe must be Class S to BS7291-1.
Each radiator is supplied with fixing brackets and an installation 

pack. Refer to Sections 1.3 and 1.4 for details.

1.2  StORaGE anD HanDLinG

Grant Afinia radiators should not be stacked in piles higher than 

2.6m (total height). They must be stacked on top of each other on 

the larger side (storage flat=horizontal).
Radiators must be stored inside in a dry and clean environment to 

prevent damage to the radiators and/or their packaging.
Radiators must not be stacked on top of each other without any 

packaging in between them as this may result in damage. A non-

slip plastic sheet should at least be used.
Please ensure that Grant Afinia radiators are protected from 

dirt, rubble, etc. and it is suggested to wait for all other building 

and decorating works to be completed before finally fixing in the 

required location.
Grant recommends that radiators are installed before the plastic 

film is completely removed to protect the paint finish.
