New York loft, Burnham rads

first of all thanx to all of you that took the time to try to help me with sizing rads for this project. serendipity stepped in and showed me the way.
i was at my wholesaler when a burnham catalogue for a colleage of mine arrived. so i thumbed through it and low and behold, there was my answer! brand new Slimline radiators. all the info right there in front of me to help me size them right!
well, they arrived 2 weeks ahead of schedule and we managed to get them placed and working 2 days before the owners moved in!
i had a 3/4" line from the previous reno (thank god the other company thought about the future!), so i used it as a "primary" loop, and built a little panel to "inject" each rad seperately from this loop. with balance valves and 1/2" pex, the loft went from 63* to 68* in under an hour. just by hand touch, it felt like each rad was warming at the same rate.
those Burnham radiators are top knotch, and hopefully i'll be getting to use more of them in the future!
