A variety of matching valves
and other accessories are
available and recommended from MYSON. For
specific applications see our
d
etailed installation and technicals manuals
and price book
which
are
available on our web site.
It is assumed that the installer has the appropriate technical knowledge related to
building codes, standard trade practices, and proper use of the tools of the trade.
Failure to flush system of debris and flux may cause premature radiator failure, which can result in leaks and
property damage NOT covered under the Myson Warranty.
Step 1 Fill and vent the system.
Step 2 Run the system for two (2) hours at full temperature with all radiator valves in the open position.
Step 3 Shut off and drain the system while the water is still hot.
Step 4 Refill the system.
Step 5 Reheat, vent, and balance the system.
Step 6 Once the
T6
Radiator is filled with water the system should be left filled.
Step 7 System should be checked for leaks on seasonal start-ups. Leaks must be repaired
as automatic system fill valves allow fresh water/oxygen into the system attacking
radiators internally.
SYSTEM START-UP
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
1
Once operating, avoid the introduction of fresh water and oxygen to the system to prevent corrosion.
2 An occasional wiping with a damp cloth using a non-abrasive detergent can protect the finish of your
Myson radiator.
3
The use of abrasive cleaners will damage the surface of your radiator and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
DESIGN AND LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS:
Myson radiators should only be used with recirculation pump
closed loop hydronic heating systems
such as 2 pipe
reverse return, 2 pipe direct return, 1 pipe monoflo or homerun piping systems. Series loop piping is not
recommended. Myson radiators are not for use in gravity or steam systems. Position your radiator away from your
circulator pump to avoid either excess pressure that could force water out the air vent or excess suction that could
draw air into the system. The suggested location for your Myson radiator, where possible, is below a window
where it can minimize downdrafts from glazed areas. Mounting the radiator a minimum of 4 inches off the floor
will
a
provide
a
for
a
adequate
a
convection.
Myson
T6
radiators are supplied with
a
drain plug, vent plug, mounting brackets
and
TRV insert.
NOTE!
For
instuctions on how to connect the T6 radiator using the 4 side connections please consult the
"Optional Side Connection Installation Addendum"
available at MysonComfort.com.
VALVE ROUGH-IN:
The
Myson
T6
radiator
is intended to be
install
ed using the bottom center 3/4"
connections.
The supply MUST be connected to the left hand connection as you face the radiator in order for the
internal thermostatic valve to work.
MOUNTING: Myson
T6
radiators are supplied with welded mounting lugs
located
3
-15/16" in from each end.
These lugs accept the included KOM
(BH)
wall brackets. Optional SIGARTH brackets may be positioned
anywhere along the length of the radiator to accommodate retofit appplications
For more detailed bracket installation dimensions and mounting positions please consult the
detailed installation manual available at MysonComfort.com and/or the assembly instructions
included with the mounting brackets.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Radiators are hot when in use, and as such, present a risk of burns to users on prolonged contact. The
temperature of a
radiator is dependent on the temperature of the system water, as set by the system installer
or user. Installers
and users should take all necessary steps to minimi
z
e the risks of burns. If the risk is
significant, consideration should be
given to installing low surface temperature radiators, or to placing guards in
front of the radiators.
For the correct installation of radiators it is essential that the
mounting
of the radiator
to the wall
is carried out
in such a way
that it is suitable for intended use AND predictable misuse.
VENT LOCATION:
The
vent and the internal valve location can be reversed in the field
.
