Customer asked us if we could get more heat in her bathroom.

What we found:

I’d call that an epic fail 🤣

"Why can't I get this stupid kick plate to fit?"

“This model doesn’t have the holes for the pins ma’am” 🤣

My brain hurts looking at this. Is this one of those optical illusion pictures? 🤣

Do you have an after photo? I feel bad if she paid a ‘professional’ for that previous work.

I guess I know why it's this way now. The after photo is the same as the before photo. She didn't want to spend money to change it.

I don't know anything: what's wrong with this?

I've never seen a radiator like this before. the only things i recognize are the valve and vent. What is going on here?

The vital information American-Standard left off the instructions in 1952:

Back of a Sunrad Radiator: ( Face this side toward wall )

Antique Vintage American-Standard Sunrad Hot Water Radiator 16-section ...

Front of Sunrad Radiator: ( Face this side away from wall )

The Third Worst Place to Put a Duct - GreenBuildingAdvisor

They should have labeled the casting. So silly of them.

LongBeach Ed, Thank you for the clarification. Am owner of a 1928 hot water heated house with a couple of SunRads installed. I never have seen the backs of the rads. Thought this was some kinda different style rad that I had not seen before. Now I get it!
