Cast iron radiators for wall mounting
Options

To the HH Community - I've been looking to replace an old cast iron rad on my basement wall for a number of years as it's been out of service due to a crack which we had tried to weld unsuccessfully. The thing is, this unit has no feet / looks specifically made to be wall mounted. Are there any manufacturers left who make cast rads for steam without feet anymore? All I was able to find are welded steel ones but I like the more durable heating you get from cast iron.
Here's a pic of the unit. I believe it's an ARCO Peerless unit, from 3 joined sections. I'd love to find an exact replacement.
Thank you,
Henrik

OCS and Hudson Reed come to mind. There are probably others. An exact replacement will have to be used.Trying to squeeze the best out of a Weil-McLain JB-5 running a 1912 1 pipe system.1

I was just going to post an update - found that OSC actually offers the standard 4 or 6 column tube cast iron rad as a wall mounted version without feet and with compatible mounting brackets! (https://ocsind.com/products/wall-hung/). Hudson Reed cast iron rads I saw were all for hydronic systems and not compatible with steam.0

Have you tried to repair the radiator with a metal repair epoxy? If not, you might drain it and try a repair where a weld repair was tried. The welding may have damaged this radiator beyond repair but it’d be worth a try. JB Weld works well.0
