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.
