1.1 DESCRIPTION
The Grant Ania aluminium radiator range consists of :
• Horizontal radiators available in three di󰀨erent heights –
430mm, 580mm and 680mm
• Vertical radiators available in two di󰀨erent 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 Ania radiators can be used on either
open vented or sealed central heating systems.
Grant Ania 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 xing brackets and an installation
pack. Refer to Sections 1.3 and 1.4 for details.
1.2 STORAGE AND HANDLING
Grant Ania 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 at=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 Ania radiators are protected from
dirt, rubble, etc. and it is suggested to wait for all other building
and decorating works to be completed before nally xing in the
required location.
Grant recommends that radiators are installed before the plastic
lm is completely removed to protect the paint nish.
1 INTRODUCTION

one, two or three small holes in the outward facing section of the
bracket, as follows:
• 430mm radiator - 3 holes
• 580mm radiator - 2 holes
• 680mm radiator - 1 hole

guarantee.
3.1 REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE
The installation of Grant Ania radiators should be carried out by
a suitably qualied professional or other competent installer in
accordance with the relevant British and European Standards and
all applicable Building Regulations.
The installation should also be in accordance with the latest
edition of the following British Standard Code of Practice (and any
relevant amendments):
• BS EN 12828 (Heating systems for buildings. Design for
water-based heating systems).
• BS EN 14336 (Heating systems in buildings. Installation and
commissioning of water-based heating systems).
• BS 7593 (Code of Practice for treatment of water in domestic
hot water central heating systems).
• BS 7671 (Requirements for Electrical installations, IET Wiring
Regulations).
• BS 7291 (Thermoplastic pipe and ttings systems for hot and
cold water for domestic purposes and heating installations in
buildings. General requirements).
• BS 7074-1 (Application, selection and installation of
expansion vessels and ancillary equipment for sealed water
systems. Code of practice for domestic heating and hot water
supply).
3.2 LOCATION
Grant Ania radiators should be positioned as follows:
• Minimum distance from oor: 100mm
• Minimum distance below an overhang (e.g. windowsill or
shelf) 120mm.
Please refer to Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 for a representation of
these clearances and dimensions.
Check that the wall concerned is capable of supporting the weight
of the radiator when full.
Refer to Section 2.2 of these Instructions for radiator dimensions
and weights.

Section 3: InstallationPage 8
The bushes supplied in the installation pack (see Section 1.3)
must be tted before mounting the radiator on the wall.
! CAUTION !
The 1” BSP connections on Grant Ania radiators are left
hand threaded on the left-hand end of the radiator (viewed
from the front) and right hand threaded on the right-hand
end.
Fit the two 1”x½” bushes with the LEFT-HAND thread into the two
connections at the LEFT-HAND end of the radiator. Similarly, t
the two 1”x½” bushes with the RIGHT-HAND thread into the two
connections at the RIGHT-HAND end of the radiator.
Take care to ensure that the correctly threaded bush is used as
the threads can be easily damaged and cause leaks if forced or
incorrectly tted. The recommended tightening torque is 30-40Nm.
! CAUTION !
The four bushes, air vent and blanking plug are all supplied
with their own sealing rings tted. NO sealant of any kind,
plumbers’ hemp or PTFE tape should be used when tting
these items to the radiator.
Fit the radiator vent to one of the bushes at the top of the radiator
and the blanking plug to the remaining open bush after allowing
for the location of the radiator valves (not supplied).
TBOE BBOE TBSE
Figure 3-2: Pipe Connection Options
Fit the radiator valve tails to the radiator bushes using only PTFE
tape to seal. If any sealant is used great care must be taken to
ensure that it does NOT come into contact with the sealing rings
on the bushes as this may lead to water leaks.
When tightening the tails, rmly grip the bush with a good tting
spanner or wrench to prevent it from turning. Recommended
tightening torque is 30-40Nm.
3.4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Refer to Figures 3-3, 3-4, 3-5 or 3-6 and Tables 3-2, 3-3 or 3-4,
corresponding to the radiator being tted, for the xing hole
dimensions relative to the outer edges of the radiator.
Using a spirit level, mark the position of the xing holes for the
radiator mounting brackets on the wall so the radiator, once tted,
will be in the required position. Refer to Section 3.2 of these
Instructions for minimum distances from oor and overhanging
surfaces.

! WARNING !
Before drilling the xing holes check for any pipework or
electrical wiring within the wall.
Drill the holes to take suitable wall xings (not supplied). Securely
x the wall mounting brackets to the wall ensuring that they are
the correct way up.
Horizontal radiators use only two brackets. Vertical radiators use
four brackets, two at the top and two at the bottom.
After xing the brackets, use a spirit level to check they are level
and vertical before attempting to t the radiator.
Carefully lift the radiator and locate it on the mounting brackets.
The brackets will pass through the gaps between the sections
on the rear of the radiator and locate under the upper and lower
waterways. Ensure the radiator is correctly located, level and fully
supported on all brackets.
Fit the radiator valves to their tails and connect the system
pipework.
