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 bag 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 centres, 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 centre 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 RADIATOR TURN OFF HEATING AND HOTWATER BOILER CONTROLS,
SEALED
SYSTEMS SHOULD BE RE PRESSURISED TO THE CORRECT SYSTEM WORKING PRESSURE.
