Stelrad Accord Radiator Instruction Manual

Stelrad Accord Radiator Installation Instructions

Applications

We recommend that Stelrad Accord Radiators Installation Instructions be only used on indirect heating systems. The installation should be in accordance with the BS5449 standards. When making soldered joints it is important to choose a flux that is readily soluble in water and kept to the minimum quantity of solder and flux and thoroughly flushed on completion.

Production specification

The Stelrad Accord Radiator consists of a grille, two side panels when compacted, and individually packed radiator brackets with air vent, plug, and plastic grommets. The brackets and hardware bags contained within the radiator are in the shrink wrap packaging.

Installation of radiator

Open the pack and check the contents. (Fig 1.) It is recommended on all radiator types that the wall brackets are fitted with the wide flange towards the wall. Measure and mark on fixing wall radiator bracket centers, ensure a minimum dimension of a 100mm clearance is kept at either side of the finished radiator position. From the floor to the bottom edge of the bracket a dimension of 200mm should be used. This will give a correct distance from the floor to the base of the radiator for heat output. Fit the plastic grommets in position on radiator brackets. Remove plastic transit plugs from the two radiator tappings and fit air vent and plug to the preferred top LH or RH radiator connections, PTFE is not required and care should be taken not to overtighten. Prepare radiator valve tails with PTFE tape and fit to bottom radiator connections. Position radiator to the center of radiator wall brackets, make radiator valve connections, vent from air bleed with the heating system off, balance radiator with lockshield valve to ensure even heat of all system radiators. If fitting on plastic pipes, you may consider using an anti-lift attachment which is available on request from Stelrad.NOTE: WHEN FILLING RADIATORTURN OFF HEATING AND HOT WATER BOILER CONTROLS, SEALED SYSTEMS SHOULD BE REPRESSURISED TO THE CORRECT SYSTEM WORKING PRESSURE.Potential Hazards / Precautionary measuresRadiators:Manual Handling:
