The attached picture is one of several widths starting with 12” wide, some have 2 plates next to each other, was looking for the EDR per plate if available.

    Is there

    a name on it? Also check the front cover, and the damper knob if it has one.

    We did not find any markings on the heaters - they are mostly mounted in the wall cavity with a grille on top and a slot near the floor.

    Worst comes to worst...

    you can always come pretty close -- close enough anyway -- to the EDR for a fin tube type radiator by measuring the area of one fin (omit the hole for the pipe), doubling that, and multiplying by the number of fins.  Is it right on the money?  Probably not.  Is it within 10 percent?  Probably.  Is that close enough?  Yup...
