Please Note: We strongly recommend ushing the heating system post installation of new
radiators and then adding the correct quantity and type of inhibitor for use with your radiator
and system to prevent corrosion. Damage caused to systems not protected by a suitable

The Radiator Company prides itself on selecting products from
manufacturers who exercise tight quality control measures. We
only select models that exceed british manufacturing standards
for cast iron radiators and surpass requirements of our stringent
selection process. All of our products are well packaged and
should reach you in perfect condition. Just in case however, we
offer a 10 year no quibble guarantee for all cast iron radiators.
Please carefully unpack and inspect this
radiator and all ttings. The Radiator
Company must be notied of any shortages
or damage within 28 days of delivery. For
further information please see terms and
conditions on back page.
If you require joining sections, please see the separate
instructions provided.
Pipe Centres
Please refer to Fig 1
With the radiator in place, mark the positions for the wall
ties, which can be placed on the second section in from the
side (please see image to the left of this page.)
When placing the radiator in place for installation,
consideration needs to be taken for the width of the feet
as this will affect how far the radiator will sit from the wall/
skirting board.
Double check the markings then move the radiator out of
the way, then using a suitable drill bit and plugs, fix the
wall ties to the wall.
Wall ties can be screwed into wood or used in masonry
with a suitable wall plug.
Inspect
For radiators over 10 sections you
should have
• 1 Radiator (separated)
• 1 Joining key, if requested
• 2 Nipples per join in sealed bag
• 2 Gaskets per join in sealed bag
• 4 End bush gaskets in a sealed bag
• Wall ties (if specied)
All bushes will be screwed hand-tight
into the radiator.
Fitting Bushes IMPORTANT NOTE
4
Cast Iron radiators have specific left and right hand threaded
bushes and these can be easily damaged if forced or incorrectly
fitted (this will inevitably cause leaks). Bushes require a dry fit
connection only; you must not use any Compound materials
(e.g. Jet Blue) or Plumbers Hemp. If you choose you may use
up to 4 turns of PTFE tape making sure the sealing faces are
clean and free from any debris (the tape should be applied
in the direction of the thread and no more than this amount
should be used as this may cause leaks to occur)

In accordance with Part L1 2006 of the Building Regulations
and BS7593:1992 code of practice for the treatment of hot
water and central heating systems, we strongly recommend
ushing the heating system post installation of new radiators
and then adding the correct quantity and type of inhibitor
for use with your radiator and system to prevent corrosion.
Damage caused to systems not protected by a suitable
inhibitor will not be covered by manufacturer’s guarantee.
The manufacturer recommend using a vortex type lter to
separates any potential particulates before reaching the
boiler.

Cast Iron Joining Instructions
Cast Iron Joining Instructions
Please note: that after manufacture these radiators are pressure tested and cleaned
inside, they may, therefore, contain a small amount of water. If handling on a nished oor
ensure that adequate protective material is in place before working on the radiators.
A minimum of two people are required to join these sections to ensure safe handling of
the radiators and to facilitate an effective water tight seal.
You will need: two nipples, 2 gaskets per join, appropriate size joining key, extension rod
for extra torque, bushes and gaskets.
Cast Iron radiators have specic left and right hand threaded bushes and these
can be easily damaged if forced or incorrectly tted (this will inevitably cause
leaks). Bushes require a dry t connection only; you must not use any Compound
materials (e.g. Jet Blue) or Plumbers Hemp. It is important for the faces and
anges of the bushes to be free from and rust/residue/particulates.
To facilitate the joining process the radiator sections must be raised off the ground, (on a
rm at surface) to allow the joining key to turn freely. The radiators should not be placed
upright or on end when joining.
1.
Before joining the radiators together please remove the
plastic bungs, radiators have colour coded plastic inserts to
aid in joining the correct end.
2.
Position all sections to be joined the correct way up; place
the end with a rough casting nish along the join at the
bottom and the end with the smooth cast nish at the top.
The radiators also need to be the correct way round; ensure
the same trade mark or manufacturers stamp are all facing
the same way. (Image 1 & 2)
3.
Top smooth edge

Clean the surfaces to be joined using a small blade or similar to remove any dirt or
deposits from the face and screw thread.
4.
The radiator sections and joining nipples have one left and one right hand thread the
Nipples must be inserted correctly to avoid cross threading.
5.
Fit a graphite joining gasket over each nipple; push them
carefully onto the nipple, making sure they do not tear, until
they sit in the groove in the middle of the nipple. (image 3)
Image 3
Having identied the correct insertion direction, using 1
hand turn only screw in a pair of nipples into the end of one
radiator (screwing the nipple in further at this stage may
cause problems obtaining a water tight seal.) (Image 4) Image 4
Offer up the second radiator, making sure that the two
nipples enter the second section evenly.
Measure the distance required for the key to identify how far
in you need to place the key and then insert the key through
the open end of the water way to locate the lug within the
rst nipple to be joined. (Image 5) Image 5
Image 6
The two nipples should now be tightened alternatively
to keep the radiators parallel. The key should be kept in
a central position in the waterway whilst turning. Tighten
the rst nipple with 2 turns only, pulling the two sections
together. Repeat the process alternating between nipples,
until both sections are joined hand tight.
Once the joins have been hand tightened both will need
extra torque applied to make a water tight seal. To obtain
this use a metal extension rod to apply greater leverage.
(image 6)
Once the joins are satisfactorily tightened you can t the
blanking plugs, bushes and gaskets. Please note these items
are also left and right handed to avoid cross threading.
