how to hang a radiator

Brian (Tankless) Wood

"That pair needs to be well hung :)" didn't quite zip over this swamprats head. Nice one.

Nice rads too. Been in SWLA for 23 yrs now and have yet to see my first radiator.

I would like to mount this radiator in my foyer but I need ideas for hangers.According to my EDR book I believe its a H.B. SMITH X-RAY steam radiator from the early 1900's.Hope to make it hot water and pray it doesn't spring a leak.

Hang on!!

I've seen them hung on 1/2 moon cast brackets lagged to the wall. These you can replicate with a weldment to suit your install location - grind the edges and paint them flat black, they may even look cast...... Nice little decorative heat emitters. Dan

if you ......

support the piping that goes to the tappings well enough it should be a great start to holding up your rad. Its a gem...kps

Judging by EDR

They had lion's paw feet! My plain wall-hung (Triton) has heavy cast "L" brackets.

Any more where those came from? I've been looking for one of those (X-ray) for my kitchen island.

I've seen them

They usually have some brackets ont he wall that the cast iron hooks onto that looks like a coat hook only larger. Finding those would be a real challange. I would try and frabicate them yourselve. I would be worried about that weight hanging from the pipes.

Wall hung

Dave,
How tall are your rads? I had some wall hung brackets fabbed for a job a couple of years ago and have some left over.They are made of 2" flat stock and stand the rads off the wall about 1.5" (maybe 2")and have a "J"hook at the bottom to bear the weight. If they're too tall for your rads you can chop them and weld to correct length. If you think you can use a couple, e-mail me your address and I'll ship 'em off.

hang those rads...

....i set them on hardwood blocks (2" x 4" blocks of brazillian Ipe, hard as a rock) and tied them back to the wall with long screws & "washers" provided by shafter bros.


...love the radiator, never seen one like that before
