Technical Details
To make fitting straightforward, Rotarad comes complete with a kit that includes: either compression or union type valve connections, lower plate brackets suitable for single panel or double panel radiators, marker tool, slide front and back plates, 2 safety wires and a selection of 'C' brackets.
To fit the system you will need:
spanners, drill, tape measure, spirit level and screw driver.
- Rotarad is suitable for most steel panel radiators fitted with bottom inlet and outlet pipes. Existing pipe work may need to be modified to suite Rotarad wall spacing. Rotarad is not suitable for top entry pipe work.
- Rotarad uses the two most common types of connections: Compression joints which have olive and nut connections and Union joints which have a large nut for connection to the valve.
- When ordering you will need to check which radiator couplings are required
i.e. Compression joint single panel radiator
Compression joint double panel radiator or
Union joint single panel radiator
Union joint double panel radiator
- Fixings are not supplied due to differing wall constructions i.e. brick, block, breeze-block, dry lined, or hollow plasterboard. Suitable fixings are readily available from most DIY stores. For more information please contact the fixing manufacturers for more help if needed.
- Rotarad can be used to support 105kg - this equates to any panel radiator up to 2000mm x 700mm double panel.
- Rotarad is suitable for gas, oil-fired and solid fuel heating systems, combiboilers etc with 15mm (1/2 inch) pipe work.
- Rotarad should only be fixed to flat, firm walls (not skirting boards). Under radiator shelves and windowsills there must be a minimum clearance of 75mm from the top of the radiator to gain access to the release mechanism.
