DAN, I POSTED  A QUESTION ABOUT RADIANT RADIATORS THAT ARE IN A CUSTOMER'S HOUSE THAT I'M TRYING TO FIND A HEAT LOAD TO SIZE A NEW BOILER. SOMEONE DID REPLY AND TOLD ME TO GO TO THE BURNHAM WEDSITE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE A BURNHAM RADIATORS. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD TELL ME IF YOU KNOW THE MAKE OR BTU RATING PER SECTION OF THESE RADIATORS BY THE ATTACHED PICTURE. THE RADIATORS ARE 22" HIGH. THANKS

    At first,

    I thought they were Weil-McLain's Raydient convectors, but after checking, I see that they're not. I looked through all my other books, Bob, and don't have this one. Sorry. 
    Retired and loving it.
