Wall hung CI rad

Patrick_North · January 2010

Hi all,

Numerous inquiries to different radiator sources have turned up nothing, so I'll put out an APB here.

Looking for a wall hung radiator for one pipe steam. Not getting too picky with edr, but my ideal dimensions are about 2' wide and 3-4' tall. Yes, I need to be able to mount it 'vertically.'

I've tried most (all?) the sources noted here on the Wall (A-1, etc.) and am hoping someone out there has a lead.

Thanks,

Patrick North

I also have like 5 of them, some more ornate than others. I can have them sandblasted prior to sending as well if requested.

I'll take a look around and see.

wall vs. ceiling ..

i'm considering adding a ceiling mounted unit in my basement .. above the dimension of the mains .. my question .. are there any special considerations when mounting on a ceiling, could I just as well use a wall mount? i suppose the most important is the pitch but are there other things I need to consider when mounting on the ceiling.

thanks

ceiling rad

You could strap a standard CI rad to the ceiling as long as the pitch is correct. I see those flat rads on the ceiling above a main all the time, one pipe with vent. Nice way to heat having it above, like the old radiant ceilings.

exactly

Just like those. I found a website that carries LH/RH nipples but I just piped the bottoms together with a full size nipple and a union when I needed 2 combined and had no issues....
