Radiator Identification

Anyone have an idea on the manufacturer of these rads, and if possible an EDR table?

I could not find them in Dan's book, EDR. These are located in Nova Scotia. What really caught me was the bottom end section tappings, and the single end tappings.

    What is the measurement from front to back of each section?

    What is the measurement from the center of one section to the center of the next one?

    No idea. Contractor in NovaScotia, I am in CO. It was like pulling teeth to get them just to send pictures.

    Closest I can figure is to use a standard 2-column rad chart. These had 2-1/2" section spacings, so if the spacing is different we might have to keep looking.

    Thank you. That is what I did. I also down-rated the EDR slightly to cover my rear end. I have seen some strange rads in Canada! FYI, if you were interested, we are using a gas fired Absorption Heat Pump on these systems. We max out ~140F on SWT (return water dependent) so I have some projects that I had to size for the contractors. I've been successful heating homes with very low AWT in cast iron rads but usually always able to identify them and size appropriately. These jobs had me scratching my head. Bottom inlets on the end sections, double tapped end-sections, stuff I just have not run into before. I appreciate the help!

    I would be willing to bet that there was a soft coal stoker boiler in the basement at some time using bottom fed gravity heating coming off a header pipe loop in the basement.

    If I am right the two pipes rising from the basement are separate perimeter loop hot water pipes with O-S fittings and the single pipe is the cool water return. It gets very cold up on that island in far eastern canukistan.
