• New England, Upper Midwest, or Southern Ontario: 40 BTUH per square foot of floor area
• New York City to Philadelphia: 40 BTUH
• Philadelphia to Washington, DC: 35 BTUH

Notice

Runtal Radiators are made to operate as part of a closed-loop, forced-hot-water (hydronic) heating system. The radiators heat by circulating hot water from a boiler through the hollow, flat tubes. The boiler typically operates from either home heating oil, natural gas, or LPG propane. Radiators are not made to connect to the domestic hot-water (tap water) system.

Mounting

The mounting system is identical on all 5 heights.

Piping

Each radiator may be piped eight different ways. This should allow for the most efficient and most attractive installation.

Tips:

• Always plan to pipe directly into the radiator. “U” shapes should be avoided.
• Always check your piping scheme in advance to be sure of clearance from joists, etc.
• Use all of the K-12 brackets provided with each radiator.
• Place 1 bracket 6” in from each end, and equally space the rest.
• Mount bracket on studs whenever possible (use appropriate method for non-stud mounting).
• Mount radiators 3” from the floor for optimum efficiency, ease of vacuuming, and proper trim cover fit. However a minimum of 1” between radiator and finished floor is permissible.
• Be sure to install leveling bolt (K-45) prior to piping radiator.
• Piping should be kept to a minimum and should be planned to match the standard trims.
• Always install the air vent (included) opposite the supply side of the radiator.
• Be sure to properly seal the flush plugs (included) in the unused fittings (3/8” and 3/16” hex wrenches required).
• Be sure to leave room for piping inside corners. You will need two to three inches plus working room, minimum.
