    W-M radiator

    Joe, If it's the concealed radiant type like this one I actually have a couple. You'll probably have to break it down and reassemble for width of opening... AND come to Chicago to get it. I don't think they still make them but I found them at a used rad supplier.


    Dan, I just got your book and was pleasantly surprised to see these guys in it. I was luck enough to find eight to install in a large two story addition, matching the existing. What a happy HO!



    Joe,Contact me by e-mail if interested,

    Joe,

    The Burnham radiant style looks a bit different but at least it pipes from the inside. It's designed for recessed or semi-recessed. I know they're still making them.

    Good luck. Try the scavengers, it worked for me.

    Come get it.

    Hey,

    I'm south of Boston and have one Raydiant that I will demo soon and not reuse. You are welcome to it if you want to make the trip... If the OP doesn't want it any other wallie can have it as long as it gets reinstalled and not stockpiled for spec. It is in my half bath so it is smallish, 20"x 20"... 2 of the "vectants" in back. The rest of my house is Sunrads except for the MBR, quite a large Raydiant in there which I would trade for a similarly sized Sunrad... approx. 23x 51. A side question: I'm converting from Oil fired Steam to a NG fired mod con... I know there is potential for leaks when radiators are subject to the higher pressures of hydronics after having been used for steam... Sunrads prone to leak? And, yes I've done my calcs, I'll have plenty of capacity on water vs. steam. :-)
