Application
Sargasso Radiant Panels sit in a ceiling grid,
or can be suspended from the ceiling, and are
supplied with hot water from a heat source. They
form part of a 2 pipe ‘wet’ heating system. The
hot water is fed to the Sargasso Radiant Panels
and approximately 85% less water is required
compared to a traditional radiator heating system.
The benets of this are that the system heats the
occupants up much quicker than a traditional
radiator system. Cost savings in running such a
system are realised because of the lower water
content and faster heat up of the radiant panels.
Further energy savings are possible through
zoning so that only occupied areas are heated.
Sargasso is primarily designed to be installed as
part of a suspended ceiling, but it can also be
installed directly on or suspended from the ceiling.
Suitable for use in Micro T system and standard
T-Grid ceiling ceilings. Please note that Sargasso
is compatible with regular ceiling proles, but not
compatible with Tegular or Microlook ceilings.
Suitable for installation from gripple wires (not
supplied). Panels longer than 1200mm will require
6 xing locations.
These products are designed for use on standard
two-pipe pumped central heating systems.
Pipe connections are 10mm and may be used as
either ow or return.
The product must be installed in line with best
plumbing practices and with reference to industry
standards, such as the CIBSE Domestic Heating
Design Guide B1: 2016. Isolating valves (not
supplied) should be tted to system ow and
return connections. Failure to t isolating valves
may mean that the product is not serviceable in
the event of failure.

Installation and mounting
Standard ceiling
It is recommended that panels with a length of
600-1800 mm are installed using 4 hanging wires,
panels with lengths of 2400-3000 mm with 6
hanging wires.
When the panels are hung and positioned they
can be connected to the supply by using push-t
elbows and pipe tails (not provided) which is the
preferred method of attachment.
• Fit isolating valves (not supplied) to the system
ow and return pipes. In order to achieve the
highest level of performance we recommend
full bore valves.
• Valves to facilitate balancing of the system may
be advantageous.
• Failure to t isolating valves may mean that the
product is not serviceable in the event
of failure.
• Open the isolating valves and check for leaks.
N.B. either pipe may be used on ow or return.
Plasterboard ceiling
For extra consideration over and above standard
installations are the following points:
• When commencing installation the aperture or
space for the panels should be the stated size
of the panel with no obstruction preventing a
ush t.
• We advise single module installation of
plasterboard models due to expansion.
• Place the panel within the plasterboard void.
• Attach the recommended number of wires
which should be vertically aligned (please note
that the xing supports can be adjusted along
the length of the panels to assist).
• Adjust the wires to achieve the best t within
the ceiling.
Please note that the panels can only sit ush
within a perfectly level ceiling.
• Connection to the panel is recommended
using exible hoses of a specication suitable
for heating systems.
• Place the panel within the plasterboard void
carefully positioning the screw holes depending
on frame used, so that they make a secure
xing (timber joists are ideal).
• Then continue nal xing of the panel ensuring
a straight ush t.
